- Abstract
For Atikamekw Nehirowisiwok families, this is nonsense: in addition to not enjoying the recognition of their territorial regime and Indigenous rights, they have to witness the Quebec government making money from resources exploitation and access rights to their own ancestral land. It is important to understand that the territorial pressures and regimes imposed by the Government of Quebec entangle Indigenous territorial regimes and do not replace them. All this territorial knowledge is kept internally for the nation's members but may be used sparingly in some very specific negotiations with government institutions (e.g., various departments of the Quebec government, Hydro-Québec, RCMs) or with the forestry industry. It seems that, as long as the Government of Quebec does not have a legal obligation to recognize Indigenous land title and land tenures, it will act exactly as if these land title and land tenures did not exist.
