Archaeology of Nunavut

Nunavut has the unique experience of having a large Aboriginal community that creates strong cultural ties within the legislation.

The inuksuk symbolizes stone monuments which guide people on the land and mark sacred and other special places.

One of the main NCLA concerns are that the Inuit exchanged their Aboriginal title to all their traditional land in the Nunavut Settlement Area for the rights and benefits.

Rights and benefits are focused on land, wildlife, and water, as these are very important aspects to the Inuit way of life.

NTI coordinates and manages Inuit responsibilities set out in the NCLA and makes sure that all federal and territorial governments fulfill their obligations such as help with travel between communities, the care of elders, and help with education.
