Long before borders, NunatuKavut Inuit travelled the Churchill River, raising families and building communities along its shores. Today, we remain committed to protecting this river and helping shape its future.

For centuries, NunatuKavut Inuit have depended on the waters of South and Central Labrador. With Northern Cod returning, our responsibility to protect this resource remains as strong as ever. Learn more about our connection to these waters and our vision for the future. #ThenNowForever

In August 1765, our ancestors entered into a Treaty of peace and friendship with the British Crown in the presence of over 500 NunatuKavut Inuit and hundreds of British soldiers and sailors. This historic agreement respected our autonomy, identity, and longstanding relationship with the land and waters. #ThenNowForever

Long before borders, NunatuKavut Inuit lived, harvested, and travelled along the Churchill River. As a Treaty people, we remain protectors and stewards of our lands and waters. #ThenNowForever

Northern Cod is vital to the survival and sustainability of NunatuKavut communities. With this resource returning, our responsibility to protect it has not changed. We call for proper conservation measures. And a fairer approach to allocations that recognizes our adjacency, Indigenous rights and the cultural economic importance to our people. #ThenNowForever

For generations, NunatuKavut Inuit have relied on the land, waters and ice for survival. As stewards of our territory, we manage programs and services that protect the environment and natural resources.
