The assimilative policies towards Indigenous peoples in Canada profoundly changed their way of life and broke many relationships, including family ties, which are intertwined with life on the land. Young people are particularly affected by these disruptions and are frequently the target of programs that promote language, traditional knowledge and spirituality. In this context, land-based programs and their healing potential are increasingly studied. Unfortunately, they remain little known or even devalued in social work practice. This paper presents the results of a study on land-based projects carried out with young Innu on the traditional territory of the Innu of Uashat mak Mani-utenam. It shows how the territory is a legitimate lever for social intervention that deserves to be mobilized more frequently.
