Chisasibi (Cree: ᒋᓵᓰᐲ/Cisâsîpî) is a Cree village municipality (VC) in the territory of Eeyou IstcheeinNord-du-Québec; it has a distinct legal status and classification from other kinds of village municipalities in Quebec: Naskapi village municipalities, northern villages (Inuit communities), and ordinary villages.
As with all other Cree village municipalities in Quebec, there is a counterpart Cree reserved land of the same name located nearby: Chisasibi.
Despite the title of "village municipality" and the formalities that go along with it (for instance, having a mayor), Statistics Canada lists it (and all other Cree village municipalities in Quebec) as having no resident population or residential infrastructure (dwellings); it is the Cree reserved lands that are listed as having population and residential dwellings in the Canadian censuses.
In the 2021 Canadian census conducted by Statistics Canada, Chisasibi had a population of 0, unchanged from its 2016 population and a land area of 480.29 km2 (185.44 sq mi).[3]
