| Summary: | Nunavut is a territory in Canada's Eastern Arctic inhabited by a majority Inuit population. This population continues to rely on wildlife as a food source, and on harvesting for both cultural and economic well‐being. Increased mining investment in Nunavut has resulted in a diminishment of public hearing opportunities for individual Inuk and other residents of Nunavut in non‐renewable resource decisions that will affect harvesters. This represents a substantial erosion of the participatory rights the Inuit agreed to when they ratified the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement in 1993. |
