The next important fact that you need to know is that, unlike certain other aboriginal groups in Quebec, the Naskapi did want to sign the James Bay Agreement, and in 1975, under the guidance of the Northern Quebec Inuit Association, the predecessor of Makivik Corporation, the Naskapi made a strenuous effort to become a signatory.

Under section 20 of the Northeastern Quebec Agreement, the Naskapis left a small reserve they shared with the Montagnais Indians of Schefferville in the town of Schefferville and relocated to their category IA-N lands at Lac Matemace, situated about 10 kilometres north of Schefferville, where they built the village of Kawawachikamach.
