Who are the Labrador Inuit?
A. The Labrador Inuit number approximately 5,300 Inuit and Kablunangâjuit (individuals of partial Inuit ancestry) who live primarily in five coastal communities (Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, Postville and Rigolet) and the upper Lake Melville area in Labrador. They claim Aboriginal rights and title to territory in northern Labrador and northeastern Quebec. The Inuit have never entered into a treaty with the British Crown, Canada or Newfoundland and Labrador.
