Knowing the Territory

Visit this page to learn about collective activities that take place among youth in relation with each other, their communities, and the land, and in turn strengthen their relationships with each other, their communities, and the land.

“Pride to be from Atikamekw. Pride to be from Opitciwan. The first impact we noticed was that more and more, the youth started to know the territory, know the different places – own their territory. And also the youth are deepening their language through that connection to the land. And after all the influences related to colonization … knowing the territory better has an impact on the sense of identity. And the whole community kind of feels as one.” – Jasmin Flamand
