Nunatsiavut, Autonomous settlement area in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
The territory spans across northern Labrador with five principal communities, including Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik, Postville, and Rigolet along the Atlantic coast.
The Nunatsiavut government gained administrative authority on June 23, 2005, following the ratification of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement with Canadian authorities.
The region maintains strong Inuit traditions through community initiatives, with English and Inuktitut serving as primary languages across settlements.
Transportation between communities relies on scheduled air services and seasonal ferry connections, as no roads connect the settlements to mainland networks.
The governance structure incorporates both modern Canadian parliamentary systems and traditional Inuit leadership methods, with councils led by an Angajukĸâk in each community.
