In 2009, the Canadian company Strateco Inc. scoured the area between Chibougamou and Mistissini for uranium and began test drilling. The young Cree Shawn Iserhoff, Justice Debassige, Desmond Michel, Kayleigh Spencer, Catherine Quinn are Cree. In 2012, they marched from Mistissini to Quebec City and Montreal, almost 900 kilometers. “Together Against Uranium” was on their banner.
