NunatuKavut (Inuktitut: ᓄᓇᑐᑲᕗᑦ) is an Inuit territory in Labrador. It is unrecognized by other Indigenous groups in Canada, including the Innu Nation, the Nunatsiavut government, and the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.[1] The NunatuKavummiut (previously called Labrador Metis) claim to be the direct descendants of the Inuit that lived south of the Churchill or Grand River prior to European contact, with recent European admixture primarily from English settlers. Despite claims of Inuit heritage, according to recent censuses completed by Statistics Canada, the vast majority of individuals living in communities that NunatuKavut claims are within its region continue to identify as Métis as opposed to 'Inuit'.
NunatuKavut[ˈnuːnətuːhəvuːt] means "Our ancient land" in the ancestral Inuttitut dialect of central and southern Labrador Inuit. The region claimed by NunatuKavut generally encompasses southern Labrador, from the Grand River south to Lodge Bay and west to the extent of the official border between Quebec and Labrador. However, the land use area is much more extensive.[2][3]
