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.

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
