He has been professor of sociology at Université Laval since 1976.
He began the first project into modern autonomous Inuit government in Canada. A critic of hydroelectric development in Baie-James, he left public function to become a counsellor for Inuit dissidents in the famous James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.
The Bélanger-Campeau Commission called him to give evidence in the aboriginal question.
From 1988 to 1989, he edited Recherches sociographiques, a journal published by the Département de sociologie, Faculté des sciences sociales of Université Laval, Quebec City.
