MARIE-CLAUDE GILL-LACROIX be the result of culture."" What subseguently occurred, according to Bédard, was a “cultural mutation” that led to the “complexification of Québec’s socioterritorial reality." This “complexification” would culminate in a healthy amount of research dedicated to Québec’s particular cultural geography.” Bédard’s overview finds that nineteen articles directly addressing Québec’s ‘new’ cultural geography were published throughout the Quiet Revolution.” Only two of the works surveyed by Bédard are said to have considered “relations” between Québec’s Indigenous communities and the province’s cultural geography during the Quiet Revolution.** Authored by LouisEdmond Hamelin, both partly focused on the lack of Indigenous participation in decision-making processes, planning, and development in the north.* Though the themes broached by Hamelin are ostensibly similar to those tackled in this paper, they do not consider the effects Lévesqe and the PQ had in forming Québec’s ‘new’ cultural geography during the Quiet Revolution. As both works were published in the 1970s, they lacked the foresight required to understand the effects Lévesque and the PQ would have on the province’s cultural geography as well as the hindsight necessary to understand the impact of the Quiet Revolution as a whole on the province. As such, this paper will not use Hamelin’s work as its point of departure. Rather, it will seek to understand how Lévesque and the PQ may have affected Québec’s ‘new’ cultural geography throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It will also aim to assess the effect of cultural geography on Indigenous populations residing in Québec, with a special focus on Indigenous territorial sovereignty. 10 Original text: “Or, à la suite de la Révolution tranquille, la géographie québécoise a rapidement délaissé ce seul effet de lieu et s’est plutôt intéressée à l'expérience humaine, renouant par le fait même avec la chôra, également dit contenu culturel ou effet de culture.” (Bédard, La géographie culturelle québécoise, 223). Original text: “Autant de pierres d’achoppement, avec les autres précédemment notées, de la mutation culturelle qui a eu cours lors des années 1960 afin que les Québécois redeviennent, selon la formule consacrée, « maîtres chez eux ». Autant de facteurs provoqués par un changement de valeurs ou qui ont suscité ce dernier et donc une complexification de la réalité socioterritoriale québécoise qui, en retour, a facilité la spécialisation d’une géographie universitaire et l'émergence d’une géographie culturelle.” (Bédard, La géographie culturelle québécoise, 224).
