Another major objective in reorienting my research collaboration with the etichemic was to train some of them in anthropological research methodologies. So, they would become more confident in engaging with the research process from their own epistemological and ontological perspectives. It must be said, at this point at this point that since the mid 80s, the Council of the etichemic nation, the three band councils and the schools in the three communities have evolved and implemented various initiatives, in order to promote and valorize their knowledge of the land, their language and all, history among the younger generations. For example, in the early 1990s, on their own initiative, they implemented in the primary schools a bilingual program, etichemic and French. Another initiative, since the late 1980s, each spring and autumn, during the season of migratory birds, they have established what they call cultural weeks and where the schools and offices are closed over a period of two weeks. It is a time when the families move them to their family territories, while others move to town to visit relatives and do shopping.
