The initiative placed a Literacy Coach in each of the eight schools in the region, providing job-embedded professional development to teachers and training them on research-based skills and strategies to aid in student achievement.

According to a report published by the Government of the Northwest Territories, the SSDEC employs 18 Indigenous language instructors who supply over 700 students in the region with daily instruction.

[16] Students are instructed in Chipewyan (Dëne Sųłıné Yatıé), Cree (nēhiyawēwin), or South Slavey (Dene Zhatıé), depending on where they live.

The council has now published more than 300 books, most of them dual-language stories in Chipewyan (Dëne Sųłıné Yatıé), Cree (nēhiyawēwin), or South Slavey (Dene Zhatıé) alongside English.

[18] Three Feathers is a drama film that explores the power and grace of restorative justice and the cultural legacy that can empower future generations.

The film stars David Burke as Flinch, Joel Evans as Bryce, and Dwight Moses as Rupert; along with Eileen and Henry Beaver as Elders Irene and Raymond.

The cast also includes Tantoo Cardinal, Pat Burke, Crystal Benwell, Frankie Laviolette, Dante Kay-Grenier, and Trey Currie.

The contest encouraged residents of Northwest Territories communities to submit stories with Northern themes that lent themselves to translation and illustration.
