In the aftermath of the Quebec referendum of 1995, Never Without Consent takes a close look at the status and fundamental rights of the James Bay Crees and other Aboriginal peoples in Quebec. Its authors conclude that Aboriginal peoples cannot be forcibly included in any future Quebec state, because any such action would be invalid and illegitimate from the viewpoint of international, Canadian, and Aboriginal law and practice.

Understanding the Cree Love of the Land,
By A Customer
This review is from: Never without Consent: James Bay Crees' Stand Against Forcible Inclusion into an Independent Quebec (Paperback)
I read this book for a Quebec Society course I have been taking at University. It has helped me understand the trials that the Canadian and Quebec governments have put the Cree people through for political and land gain. Let's not forget the economic gains that the Quebec government has made by using the James Bay Hydro electricity project for their own gain. The Cree are very eloquent in explaining thoroughly the political implications of the Quebec separatist government and their attempts to secede from Canada. It has helped me to put this subject into a better perspective. The Cree will not stand by and watch as their land is purportedly to be yanked away once again. Historically it has happened, but that is where the title of the book comes from "Never Without Consent" they have done their homework and after reading this well constructed book the government will not be able to displace the Cree. Thank you to the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Astchee) and the ECW Press.
