Société Recherches autochtones au Québec

Société Recherches autochtones au Québec (often referred to as Recherches autochtones au Québec) is a Quebec-based scholarly society and publisher focused on Indigenous studies in Quebec and the Americas. It operates the website recherches-autochtones.org, which serves as a hub for its publications and announcements. The organization is best known for publishing the Revue d'études autochtones, a peer-reviewed academic journal, and the monograph collection « Signes des Amériques ». Its activities center on archaeological, historical, and cultural research related to Indigenous peoples, with a strong emphasis on Quebec and northeastern North America. The society's recent publications illustrate its scope. In 2026, it announced a new monograph in the « Signes des Amériques » series titled « À la confluence des rivières Saint-François et Massawippi : les Petites Fourches à travers le temps », edited by Claude Chapdelaine and Adrian L. Burke. The work presents archaeological findings from the confluence of the Saint-François and Massawippi rivers, documenting three newly discovered sites and about twenty hearths, with evidence of continuous occupation for over 6,000 years. The society also released volume 54(1) of the Revue d'études autochtones for 2026, titled « Écrire les voix du territoire. L'Écrit à la lumière de l'oralité », a tribute to Joséphine Bacon co-edited by Laurent Jérôme and Sylvie Loslier. This issue aims to highlight Joséphine Bacon's contribution to Indigenous studies in Quebec and to the dialogue between cultures through poetry and oral tradition. The organization functions as a small, specialized academic publisher and society rather than a commercial mass-market brand. Its audience includes scholars, students, and readers interested in Indigenous history, archaeology, and literature. While it does not appear to have retail operations or a broad consumer product line, its brand identity is tied to the quality and scholarly rigor of its publications. The society's website features photography credits, including François Léger-Savard (Les amis du Mushuau-nipi), Pierre Trudel, and lucbouvrette.com, suggesting collaborative relationships with photographers and Indigenous cultural organizations. As of the available evidence, the society remains active, with recent 2026 publications. Its legal status, founding date, and governance structure are not specified in the provided sources. It is not known to be publicly traded. The organization's work contributes to the documentation and dissemination of Indigenous heritage in Quebec, bridging academic research and public engagement through its journals and books.
