The UQAT motto is to work for, by and with our indigenous partners, whether they are first nations or Inuit. This is the key to success.
In fact, it's a recognition of the equality of their cultures and status. It is important to have a partnership based on respect, since this is how we manage to get our partners in Quebec, Canada and abroad to work with us. In fact, many academics or people from other countries come to see our winning practices with these communities.
In my opinion, a key to the success of the Canadian economy is the integration of indigenous people into that economy and the integration of their vision for the environment.
