Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Administrative region in Northwest Territories and Yukon, Canada

The region covers 435,000 square kilometers across the Mackenzie Delta, Beaufort Sea, and Amundsen Gulf, containing six primary Inuvialuit communities in Northwest Territories.

The Inuvialuit Final Agreement of 1984 established the region, transferring ownership of 90,600 square kilometers of land and providing financial compensation of 152 million dollars.

Inuvialuktun dialects, including Siglitun, Uummarmiutun, and Inuinnaqtun, remain central to community life alongside traditional hunting, fishing, and trapping practices.

The Inuvialuit Regional Corporation manages lands, financial resources, and community development through six community corporations with elected directors representing local interests.

The region contains the only deepwater port at Tuktoyaktuk and maintains protected areas like Aulavik National Park for wildlife conservation and migratory bird habitats.
