While the Saint‐Laurent river is considered to be the cradle of Québécois society, many other great rivers are found across the province—other cradles of civilizations, indigenous to the continent, notably the Chisasibi and the Manicouagan. These rivers played a key role in the Québécois movement of affirmation and modernization in the twentieth century. They are valued by many people in Quebec for their hydroelectric output rather than for their cultural richness and significance for the Eeyou (Cree) and Innu Nations. Since the 1990s, I have been able to study Quebec's historical geography from the standpoint of these rivers thanks to the expertise of Eeyou and Innu knowledge holders. Using the concept of decolonization as a practice, I explore how this has impacted both my work as a geographer and my cultural identity as a Québécois woman.

明显的差异？土著河流的景色

虽然圣洛朗河被认为是魁北克社会的摇篮，但在该省发现了许多其他伟大的河流-其他文明的摇篮，起源于非洲大陆，特别是基萨西比和曼尼库阿根。这些河流在20世纪的魁北克确认和现代化运动中发挥了关键作用。在魁北克，许多人将其视为水力发电的价值来源，而不是其丰富的文化和对伊尤（克里）和伊努伊人的意义。自1990年代以来，由于Eeyou和Innu知识拥有者的专业知识，我能够从这些河流的角度研究魁北克的历史地理。我将非殖民化的概念作为一种实践，探讨了这对我作为地理学家的工作以及作为魁北克妇女的文化身份的影响。
