INUIT NUNANGAT (INUIT IN CANADA)January 14th, 2022
The majority of the 60,000 Inuit in Canada live in 53 communities in Inuit Nunangat, the Inuit homeland encompassing the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik in Northern Que-‐ bec, and Nunatsiavut in northern Labrador. Inuit land claim agreements shape the political contours of each Inuit region and form the basis of the Inuit-‐to-‐Crown relationship. Through these constitutionally protected agreements, Inuit co-‐manage with the federal government approximately 35 percent of Canada’s landmass and 50 percent of its coastline. Inuit are represented at the national level by Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) and at the international level by the Inuit Circumpolar Council-‐Canada. ITK’s board of directors is made up of the leaders of the four regional Inuit rights-‐ holding organizations: Inuvialuit Regional Corp., Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., Makivik Corp., and the Nunatsiavut government.
