Our attempts to develop a partnership with the aboriginal community of Ekuanitshit have not been successful. However, our experience has demonstrated the importance of increasing our understanding of Aboriginal culture, adapting our approach and establishing direct contact or through selected intermediaries. Partnership with indigenous communities is based first and foremost on relationship and respect, and as a result, it is necessarily long-term.
In the context of the pandemic, several communities have taken a step back in order to protect their populations from potential contamination. As the health situation has changed, the Network will try to establish relations with the Société de Développement Économique Innue de Mashteuiatsh.
