- Title
Développement ferrifère et mondes autochtones au Québec subarctique, 1954-1983.

- Abstract
This article examines the era of iron ore production at Schefferville between 1954 and 1983, a significant period in the industrial development of the mid-north regions of Québec. Relying on a variety of oral and written sources, the author seeks to understand the role Innu and Naskapi individuals played during this phase of development in the heart of their ancestral territories. If the mining experience in Schefferville developed, in part, to the detriment of the Innu and the Naskapi, these indigenous societies worked to construct their own engagement with the industrial world, adjusting and maintaining their practices in order to combine the work at the mine with their life on the land.
