The Huron-Wendat Nation filed an application in June asking the Quebec Superior Court to order the government and Hydro-Québec to consult with it about four proposed wind farms east of Quebec City .

The First Nation says the projects are located on its ancestral territory south of the St. Lawrence River .

The Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation , which is a partner on the four wind farms, argues there is no obligation to consult.

The dispute has its roots in a treaty, signed in 1760 , that didn’t define their territory.

Hydro-Québec is banking on wind power as a key part of its $185-billion strategy.

The utility wants to triple wind capacity by 2035 by integrating 10,000 megawatts of wind power into the grid.

The Huron-Wendat Nation said in January they expected to be partners in the projects.
