| Summary: | The present thesis analyzes both the municipal and the land regimes established in northern Quebec (Nunavik) pursuant to the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement. First, we will begin with an historical study of aboriginal rights, background for the framework of the James Bay Agreement. We will then focus our attention on the municipal regime of the Province of Quebec in an effort to subsequently evaluate its establishment in northern Quebec. Third, we will analyze the concept of landholding corporation as initiated at the time of the James Bay Agreement. Finally, we will take a look at the extensive repercussions as a result of the creation, organization and interaction of these two corporate entities in an aboriginal context.
