Nord-du-Québec

Nord-du-Québec ((:nɔʁ dy kebɛk); (英語:Northern Quebec)) is the largest of the seventeen administrative regions of Quebec, Canada. With nearly of land area, and very extensive lakes and rivers, it covers much of the Labrador Peninsula and about 55% of the total land surface area of Quebec.
Before 1912, the northernmost part of this region was known as the Ungava District of the Northwest Territories, and until 1987 it was referred to as Nouveau-Québec, or ''New Quebec''. It is bordered by Hudson Bay and James Bay in the west, Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay in the north, Labrador in the northeast, and the administrative regions of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Mauricie, Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, and Côte-Nord in the south and southeast.
The Nord-du-Québec region is part of the territory covered by the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement of 1975; other regions covered (in part) by this Agreement include Côte-Nord, Mauricie and Abitibi-Témiscamingue administrative regions.
==Geography==

Nord-du-Québec region is divided for statistical and other purposes into two territories equivalent to a regional county municipality (TEs):
* Kativik north of the 55th parallel, predominantly Inuit
* Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, south of the 55th parallel, jointly governed by Cree and non-Natives. This territory was formed when the former TEs of Eeyou Istchee and Jamésie were unified in 2012.
The territory north of the 55th parallel is also referred to as Nunavik.
From the Canada 2011 Census, Eeyou Istchee has a land area of 5,586.25 km2 and a population of 16,350; Jamésie has a land area of 298,202.78 km2 and a population of 14,139; Kativik has a land area of 443,372.20 km2 and a population of 12,090. However, when the Grand Council of the Crees speaks of "Eeyou Istchee", they refer to a much larger and contiguous traditional territory and homeland that covers much of Jamésie.
The most populous community overall is the city of Chibougamau, which is in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (formerly in Jamésie); the most populous community in pre-2012 Eeyou Istchee is Chisasibi; the most populous community in Kativik is Kuujjuaq.
Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, extending from the eastern shore of James Bay to the Otish Mountains of the Laurentian Plateau, is mainly boreal forest. Before 2012, the Eeyou Istchee territory was enclaved within Jamésie, although one community is slightly to the north of the 55th parallel. Kativik has some boreal forest in its southern portion but is mainly tundra which covers the entire Ungava Peninsula.
