Sommario/riassunto

Compares Cree society in 1971 with that society a decade later. Analyzes the nature of the changes that took place as a result of the James Bay hydroelectric project and resultant impact on the Cree Indians of the area. Shows why the experience of the Cree with economic development has been positive. Provides a detailed portrait of a contemporary native society and suggests valuable guidelines for any agency working to negotiate an accord between native peoples and government.
