## Resource

The Innu of Pessamit have powerfully rejected a $2.5 billion energy deal with Hydro-Québec and the Quebec government, voting “no” by a staggering 63% — a decision that halts a controversial agreement meant to settle legal disputes and fund community development, but which also stripped them of future legal recourse and opened their land to energy projects. With over 1,200 residents voting, the community’s stance sends a clear message: sovereignty and self-determination come first. Both the Quebec government and Hydro-Québec have pledged to respect the outcome and reassess next steps. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
