• Eeyou Marine Region Agreement: The Eeyou Marine Region Agreement is an agreement between the Crees of Eeyou Istchee and the Government of Canada which covers an area of approximately 61,270 square kilometres along the Quebec shore in James Bay and south-eastern Hudson Bay. The Agreement settles the land and resource rights, including those of Canada and the Crees, over the islands and the marine waters in this area. The islands in this area represent approximately 1,650 square kilometres of land mass, of which almost 1,050 square kilometres will be owned by the Crees, including rights to the land and subsurface resources. Islands in the southern Hudson Bay which cover an area of nearly 400 square kilometres will be jointly owned with the Nunavik Inuit. The federal government will retain ownership over some islands representing approximately 200 square kilometres of land mass in the area. Canada will also retain jurisdiction over the marine waters and ownership of the seabed.

THE PROCESS LEADING TO A LAND CLAIMS AGREEMENT AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION:Land Claims Agreement • May 17th, 2000
The Nunavut Land Claims Settlement, proclaimed on July 9, 1993, will alter the land management and political relationships in the Central and Eastern Arctic of the Northwest Territories. The negotiation of a claim is made through an equilibrium relationship (coarchy); while its implementation creates a new structure (stratarchy) based on co-management of lands. However, this new structure should eventually (1999) have to make room for Nunavut government institutions.
