Chisasibi

Chisasibi is a town on the eastern shore of James Bay, in the Eeyou Istchee TE in northern Quebec, Canada. It is arranged on the south shore of La Grande River the Grand River, under 10 km 6.2 mi from the stream's mouth. Chisasibi is one of nine Cree towns in the district, and is an individual from the Grand Council of the Crees of Quebec. The domain encompassing Chisasibi is a piece of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory, of which parts are mutually overseen by the regions of the Jamesie TE and the Cree Regional Authority of the Eeyou Istchee TE.

The Cree have lived in the district for a long time yet were traveling. In 1803, the Hudson's Bay Company established Fort George, an exchanging post on the north shore which was migrated to the biggest island in the mouth of La Grande River in 1837. Fortress George turned into a perpetual town as the neighborhood Cree populace relinquished their itinerant lifestyle in the mid twentieth century and settled adjacent. In 1940, its populace was around 750 and developed to very nearly 2,000 of every 1980. In the mid 1970s, the development of the James Bay hydro-electric undertaking started, occupying upstream waterways into La Grande watershed, expanding its stream altogether, bringing about disintegration of Fort George Island and disturbance to the arrangement of a strong ice cover in winter.
