Inuit in Nunavut were granted rights through the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA) in 1993, which recognized their rights to land, resources, and self-governance. The agreement provided for the establishment of the Nunavut territory, granting Inuit ownership of about 18% of the land and giving them a significant role in decision-making regarding land use and resource management. Additionally, the NLCA includes provisions for economic development, cultural preservation, and the protection of traditional hunting and fishing rights. This framework aimed to promote self-determination and enhance the social and economic well-being of Inuit communities.
