What self-government rights will the Labrador Inuit have?
A. The Labrador Inuit will have the right to govern themselves in accordance with the terms of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement. The Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement provides for the establishment of a regional Nunatsiavut Government, five Inuit Community Governments and Inuit Community Corporations. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms will apply to the Inuit Government. The Nunatsiavut Government may make laws applicable to Inuit in Labrador Inuit Lands and the Inuit Communities with respect to culture and language, education, health and social services, as well as land and resource management. Each Inuit Community Government has the power to make laws of a local or municipal nature. Inuit Community Corporations may be established to provide for the representation of Inuit who reside outside the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area.
