Using a Cree immersion curriculum, the Kihew Waciston Cree Immersion School provides youth with opportunities to know who they are and where they come from.
The Kihew Waciston (Onion Lake) Cree Immersion School was developed in 2005 by a Cree linguist, Brian Macdonald, and local leadership. The school educates the next generation of language and cultural keepers and focuses on language retention, spoken language, and Cree identity. The school’s language outcomes are adapted from the provincial curriculum, but remain centered around speaking, listening, reading, and writing. They follow four foundational objectives which include: language development, kinship, identity, and reminding the youth about who they are. The school’s curriculum has been developed using the Gift of Language immersion program, which is intended for early childhood to Grade 4. The school hopes to engage more language learners as new curriculum for additional grades are developed.

L’Institut Tshakapesh, qui se situe à Uashat, est un organisme culturel et éducatif qui dessert, depuis près de trente-cinq ans, huit communautés innues de la Côte-Nord. L’Institut a pour mission de préserver la langue et la culture innu et oeuvre à favoriser la réussite scolaire des jeunes des communautés membres. Pour se faire, l’Institut Tshakapesh propose des activités d’échange et de perfectionnement en impliquant les parents dans l’éducation de leurs enfants. L’Institut valorise également « le maintien des traditions, la fierté culturelle, le respect d’autrui et l’entraide », des valeurs devant être transmises aux générations futures. (Institut Tshakapesh, 2013) L’Institut Tshakapesh offre, en collaboration avec les écoles membres, plusieurs programmes en éducation. On y retrouve notamment le programme « Agir tôt/Uipat Tutetau » qui valorise l’engagement des parents et de la collectivité dans l’éducation des jeunes et dans la réussite scolaire des élèves. Le programme « Agir tôt » favorise une meilleure préparation des étudiants à leur arrivée à l’école primaire. Pour ce faire, il permet un dépistage précoce des besoins spéciaux des jeunes. Il permet le développement global des enfants par l’utilisation de matériels adaptés et par l’apprentissage par le jeu. Ce programme prend la forme d’ateliers d’implication parentaux pour lesquels des capsules vidéos ont été produites. Ces capsules sont accompagnées de fiche d’activité afin que les parents puissent mieux soutenir le développement de leurs enfants. Le programme « Agir tôt » a finalement pour objectif de favoriser l’égalité des chances chez les jeunes.
