Yesterday François Legault announced that the 600-km highway known as the Route de la Baie-James will be renamed in honour of Billy Diamond, the late Cree leader who signed the Convention de la Baie-James with the Quebec government 45 years ago almost to the day.
The Convention and its financial compensation (in exchange for allowing hydro development), which was used skillfully by Quebec's James Bay Cree to develop their communities in multiple ways, has made them one of the most prosperous indigenous nations in all of Canada.
