The Labrador Inuit whose Atlantic coast homeland, moravian mission literacy, and self-government agreement made them the first Inuit people in Canada to achieve constitutional autonomy.
Nunatsiavut Inuit — the Labrador Inuit whose name means 'Our Beautiful Land' and whose people have inhabited the rugged Atlantic coastline and interior of northern Labrador for thousands of years, developing a maritime culture of extraordinary resilience along one of the most demanding coastlines in the world where pack ice, polar bears, and Arctic storms shaped a people of formidable endurance and ecological sophistication. Subjected to the profound cultural disruption of Moravian missionary settlement beginning in 1771 — which paradoxically both threatened traditional Inuit culture and provided the literacy and organizational tools that later empowered land rights advocacy — the Labrador Inuit achieved the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement of 2005, establishing Nunatsiavut as Canada's first Inuit self-government with legislative powers over a homeland of 72,520 square kilometers of the Labrador coast.
