LAND CLAIMS

The Nunavut Land Claim Agreement (NLCA) was the result of over twenty years of work by Inuit politicians and negotiators. The NLCA outlines a wide variety of rights and responsibilities that Inuit now have in such areas as wildlife management, land management and environmental protection, economic activity, land ownership, and social and heritage matters. Students in this course learn about many of the details of this complex Agreement. While the legal language can be challenging, students come away proud of the knowledge they have acquired, and proud of the rights Inuit have secured for their future.
