Chisasibi, Cree village in Eeyou Istchee, Canada
Located on the eastern shore of James Bay, Chisasibi extends across 825 square kilometers of land with access to the La Grande River system.
The Hudson's Bay Company established Fort George in 1803, leading to the settlement of nomadic Cree populations near the trading post location.
The population of 4,985 residents primarily communicates in Cree language, which serves as the mother tongue for over 80 percent of the community.
The community maintains educational facilities through the Cree School Board, including Waapinichikush Elementary School and James Bay Eeyou School for local students.
The entire village relocated in the 1970s due to increased water flow and erosion caused by the James Bay hydroelectric project.
