Department Overview

With the interests of our people, as well as the future of our region, in mind, the Nunatsiavut Government looks to the department of Lands and Natural Resources to sustainably manage our renewable and non-renewable resources.

Labrador Inuit Lands

With so many resources available within the Nunatsiavut region, proper management of the land in regard to both its use by our people and other partners is of great priority.

Land Use Planning

As part of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement, we have developed a Regional Land Use Plan to ensure proper management of our land, water, and resources.

Inuit Domestic Harvest

By reporting your harvesting activities to our department, you ensure the proper management of our resources and the future prosperity of our region.

Overlap Agreements

Thanks to their cooperation, we are able to harvest within the Nunavik area, and we allow them to harvest within Nunatsiavut.

Mineral Exploration Standards

With a number of possible mineral sources already established within our region, and more to come, proper management and regulation of these resources is becoming an increasingly important part of the work of the department of Lands and Natural Resources.

Parks and Protected Areas

Containing one of Canada’s newest National Parks, as well as a number of other protected areas, Nunatsiavut is a rare region that should be experienced by all.
