## Resource

The Innu of Pessamit just rejected a $2.5 billion, 50-year deal with Hydro-Québec — a massive settlement meant to resolve legal disputes over energy projects on their ancestral lands. With 63% voting no, the community cited rushed timelines and insufficient time to review the agreement. Quebec’s government and Hydro-Québec both pledged to respect the decision and remain open to future talks, leaving the future of energy development on Pessamit territory uncertain — but the door is still open for collaboration.
