On December 1, 2005, Labrador Inuit celebrated the
beginning of the Nunatsiavut Government. As a regional
ethnic government in Newfoundland and Labrador,
the Nunatsiavut Government has many of the responsibilities
and rights of other governments, such as planning
for sustainable economic development, protecting
and preserving our Inuit culture and implementing
social programs on behalf of our beneficiaries.
Since the inception of this new
government, former Labrador Inuit Association leaders
have been working on building structures to operate
as a responsible, democratic government. You will
see this democracy in work as we prepare for our
first elections in September and October. During
this time of transition, we recognize the importance
of communicating how this change will affect Labrador
Inuit and what your government is doing for our
communities and our families.
This website will be an important
communication tool as we seek to regularly update
our beneficiaries about important events and issues
for Labrador Inuit. And for those of you interested
in visiting, working and doing business in Nunatsiavut,
we welcome you.
