Abstract

Cette recherche traite du contact interculturel en situation de developpement energetique des ressources nordiques. Le propos aborde les retombees du travail salarie dans les communautes cries et les perceptions non-autochtones du travail salarie et de la formation professionnelle dans le territoire de la Baie James. Les emplois offerts aux Cris par Hydro-Quebec au cours des annees quatre-vingt ont exige, de la part des candidats, des qualifications formelles relativement differentes de leur savoir technique. L'etude analyse un programme de formation professionnelle offert par Hydro-Quebec en vertu de la Convention de la Baie James et du Nord quebecois et de la Convention La Grande 1986. L'argument se fonde sur les difficultes de traduire culturellement les elements qui caracterisent les societes crie et quebecoise quant aux representations du travail salarie, de l'apprentissage, de l'espace et du temps.

This research deals with intercultural contact in a situation of energetic development of northern resources. The subject addresses the repercussions of salaried work in the Cree communities and the non-Aboriginal perceptions of salaried work and vocational training in the James Bay territory. The jobs offered to the Crees by Hydro-Quebec during the 1980s required, on the part of the candidates, formal qualifications quite different from their technical knowledge. The study analyzes a professional training program offered by Hydro-Quebec under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement and the La Grande Agreement 1986. The argument is based on the difficulties of culturally translating the elements that characterize Cree and Quebec societies with regard to the representations of wage labor, learning, space and time.
