	James Bay Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is located between James Bay to the west and Labrador to the east and its waters flow from the Laurentian Plateau of the Canadian Shield.
		Opposition to the project, however, was strong among the 5,000 Crees of James Bay, the 3,500 Inuit to the north and several environmental groups.
		The James Bay Project also was an impetus for the forging of a collective identity among the Cree of Quebec and for the establishment of the Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee).

		For much of its history up to that point the project had evoked a tremendous response from environmentalists and the Cree, who claimed that the project was destroying the region and disrupting the lives of the native population as rivers were diverted, forests incinerated, and wilderness areas inundated.
		The Great Whale Project, involving the diversion of the Little Whale and Nastapoca rivers into the Great Whale River, and the NBR Project, involving the diversion of the Rupert and Nottaway rivers into the Broadback River basin, were also suspended; no construction on either had begun.

		The project would provide power for export, an enticement to invest in extractive industry, jobs and increased economic autonomy for the province.
		The developers appealed and in November 1972 the courts reversed the decision indicating that because of the investment to date if the project were stopped, the damage would be greater to the proponents that to the Cree if the project proceeded.
		Feeling powerless to to stop the project, the Cree entered into negotiations concerning Aboriginal rights, which culminated in the 1975 James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, under which the Cree and Inuit received millions of dollars in compensation and gave Quebec sovereign rights to the region.

	Comparative Study of Hydroelectric Projects in Canada and India
		As certain features of the James Bay Projects came closer to that of the Idukki project, comparison is mainly attempted with that project.
		The phase I of the project alone involved construction of 215 dams and dikes-- the longest stretches 4.3 km and the highest reaches 162 metres.
		Since the project area is relatively flat, damming the rivers draining those lands was sure to flood extensive areas of river, lake and forest habitat.
