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

En 1990, John-Abbott était l’un des premiers cégeps à collaborer avec les communautés autochtones et institutions telles que Cree School Board et Kativik pour offrir des services spécifiques et adaptés aux étudiants autochtones. Ainsi, le collège John-Abbott et l’Indigenous Student Resources Centre encouragent et supportent le succès académique des autochtones au postsecondaire. Ce centre est un espace qui permet aux étudiants autochtones de se rassembler, de relaxer et de travailler. Il s’agit d’un espace permettant le maintien de l’identité autochtone à l’intérieur de la communauté collégiale. Par l’intermédiaire du Indigenous Student Resources Centre, les étudiants peuvent profiter de plusieurs services de tutorat et l’aide d’un conseiller pédagogique. Ils peuvent participer à plusieurs activités sociales, à des ateliers divers et ils peuvent contribuer à l’éducation et à la sensibilisation des non-autochtones aux réalités autochtones . Le centre offre plusieurs services tels qu’un espace d’étude aménagé avec des ordinateurs, une bibliothèque spécifique aux études autochtones, un accompagnement spécifique pour les différentes procédures de l’école (registrariat, etc.) et autres .
