The Grand Council of the Crees/ Eeyou Istchee / Grand Conseil des Cris is the political representation of approximately 18,000 Crees of the territory known as "The Peoples' Land" (Eeyou Istchee). The region includes the James Bay and Nunavik areas of Northern Quebec, Canada. The Cree peoples of this area formed the Council in response to the government of Quebec's James Bay Hydroelectric project.
