Cultural information

The cultural policy is presently under development. We will keep you posted soon. 

What is a cultural policy?
 
 
In order to protect, feature and develop Abenaki culture for our distinct society, the Abenaki government of Odanak has begun an elaboration process for a cultural policy. This policy intends to:

  • Define the community’s cultural identity

  • Determine the expectations and needs of the population, artists and cultural organizations

  • Allow for the offering of a range of cultural services adapted to identified needs in order to improve the quality of life of community members

  • Strengthen the Nation’s cultural specificity

  • Provide the Abenaki government with the knowledge and parameters required for the discussion and negotiation of agreements and partnerships with other ministerial, cultural and heritage sectors

  • Include a cultural component in all the Nation’s concerns and activities

  • Define long-term orientations and vision in order to better plan the services offered in different areas of cultural activity
