| • | Chisasibi is a Cree village on the eastern shore of James Bay, in Quebec, Canada. Lying on the south shore of the La Grande River, Chisasibi was founded in the late 1970s and replaces the former settlement of Fort George, which was located about 10 km downstream on an island in the mouth of the La Grande River. Chisasibi has a population of about 3,000 and is the most northern Cree village accessible by road. The James Bay Road, or Matagami-Radisson road, was built during the construction of the James Bay Hydroelectric Project in the mid-1970s. Radisson, which is a community about 100 km to the east of Chisasibi, has a population of about 500 who are mostly employed directly or indirectly by Hydro-Québec. There are also two Cree villages near Chisasibi: Whapmagoostui, 200 km to the north on Hudson's Bay alongside the northern village of Kuujjuarapik, and Wemindji, about 100 km to the south.
