The Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach has entered into a contribution agreement with the Department of Justice Canada to manage the Naskapi Justice Healing Program. The goals of the Program are to deal with conflicts and crimes using approaches that emphasize healing for individuals, families and the community. The Program responds to the needs of Naskapi offenders, victims and families and reinforces the role of community members in the administration of justice.
Through this Program the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach will educate the community and members of the justice committee on various topics such as communication, conflict resolution, peacemaking and Native justice; establish collaborative procedures with police, court workers and the Crown attorney; offer support in criminal or conflict situations; and encourage youths to be involved in the community in a constructive manner.
