The First Peoples of Quebec, like all the peoples of the world, have dreams and goals for the future. Some of these goals are shared by all Nations and communities, while others relate to one nation or part of the population.
The use of natural resources is an issue that concerns several Nations: the Aboriginal people, because of their values, want to ensure respect for the land and all the people who live there. If their traditional land is to be used to build a dam, for example, Aboriginals first want to be consulted and take a stand on the project, and then eventually be compensated for the resources they lose, in order to continue to build the future. These compensations could be in the form of money, but also through the recovery of powers that were taken away from them, such as the right to make decisions about the management of the land in collaboration with the government. This is what happened when the Eeyou (Cree) signed the Paix des Braves with the Quebec government in 2001. Several issues of this type are therefore borne by large organizations comprising the majority of First Nations and Inuit: health, education, quality of housing, access to hunting and fishing grounds, etc.
