The Fort Albany Reserve originally had an
important strategic location along the Albany River and on the shores of James Bay.
The Hudson's Bay Company established a trading post within this region. The
reserve boundaries are described in the James Bay Treaty of 1905-Treaty No.9. During the
1950's Old Fort Albany was abandoned and people separated into two communities. New
Fort Albany is situation on the south shore of the Albany River, whereas Kashechewan is
situated on the north bank of the Albany River. Current On-Reserve Population: 850 |
