Amerindians & Inuit

In 1985, by a resolution of the National Assembly, the Québec government of René Lévesque became the first government in Canada to recognize the exitence of aboriginal nations on its territory. In virtue of the resolution, the government recognized the right of the aboriginal peoples to autonomy in Québec, the right to their culture, language and traditions, the right to own and control land, the right to hunt, fish, harvest and participate in the management of wildlife resources, and the right to participate in the economic development of Québec and to benefit from such development. At present, the 10 Amerindian nations and the Inuit nation, totaling some 70,000 inhabitants, account for approximately 1% of Québec's population.
