Results are based on a literature review, participant observation, and 40 in-depth interviews with members of the Naskapi band. The field work was conducted over a three week period in November 1997 in the Naskapi Village of Kawawachikamach, Quebec. The results indicate that the relocation has had a number of positive impacts which have led to significant improvements in the community. However, the relocation has not solved all of the community's problems and the negative impacts need to be acknowledged.
