Office of the President
Since its formation as a society in 1981, and its incorporation under provincial law in 1985, NunatuKavut has grown to become the largest Aboriginal group in Labrador.
As a not-for-profit organization, NunatuKavut is committed to promoting and ensuring the basic human rights of its members as Aboriginal persons, and the collective recognition of these rights by all levels of government.
NunatuKavut is an affiliate of a national Aboriginal representative body, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples. Labrador's southern Inuit population, numbering more than 6,000, are descendants of the resident Inuit and Europeans who traveled to Labrador in the 1700-1800s. The southern Inuit are a nation whose people continue to rely upon the resources of the land, the water and the sea. The fish, sea mammals, birds, caribou, forest, minerals and other resources have always been an integral part of our way of life. These ties to the land and its resources form the core of the southern Inuit existence, making us a strong and proud people.
The President is elected by the membership for a term of four Annual General Assemblies. The President presides at all NunatuKavut meetings, and directs the business and activities of the association between meetings of Council.
