Lutsel K’e Dene school is working collaboratively to support holistic Dene education.
”Several on-the-land projects across the Northwest Territories are getting a major financial boost.
On the Land Collaborative, a collaborative initiative whose partners include local Indigenous governments, Tides Canada, the N.W.T. government and private industry, announced a $1-million grant that will be distributed to the 48 approved projects.
The projects include a hide tanning camp in Lutsel K’e, ice fishing in Whati, healing program for the homeless in Behchoko, a spring camp in Colville Lake, a summer camp in Ulukhaktok and, a program teaching fishing and hunting skills in Tulita.
Community advisors were appointed to review over 100 applications and made recommendations to the collaborative’s funding partners. Those advisors give a thorough review of every proposal, said Steve Ellis, a program leader with Tides Canada.
“The things they consider are, first and foremost, is this an on-the-land program that delivers community benefit?” said Ellis.
He added that the advisors also look to see if the projects have a good mix of elders and youth, address issues like mental wellness, cultural revitalization and environmental stewardship.” –https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/on-the-land-nwt-1-million-grant-1.4578650
