Eeyou Istchee territory
Eeyou Istchee (Cree: ᐃᔨᔨᐤ ᐊᔅᒌ, meaning "The People's Land") was a territory equivalent to a regional county municipality (TE) of Quebec, represented by the Grand Council of the Crees. On July 24, 2012, the Quebec government signed an accord with the Cree Nation that result in the abolition of the neighboring municipality of Baie-James and the creation of a new regional government known as Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory.
The total land area of these communities was 5,586.23 km2 (2,156.86 sq mi). As defined by the Grand Council of the Crees, however, the territory of Eeyou Istchee was a much larger contiguous traditional territory and homeland, comprising about 450,000 square kilometres (170,000 sq mi). There was a combined population of 14,131 persons as of the Canada 2006 Census. Its largest community was Chisasibi, on the south bank of La Grande River, near the northeast shore of James Bay.
Eeyou Istchee TE was created on November 30, 2007. Its territory had previously belonged to the TE of Jamésie. Eeyou Istchee encompassed in particular the Cree reserved land (TC) of Whapmagoostui and the Cree village municipality (VC) of the same name. These are the only municipalities in Quebec lying north of the 55th parallel north (that is, in Nunavik) but not belonging to Kativik TE.
