NunatuKavut

NunatuKavut (Inuktitut: ᓄᓇᑐᑲᕗᑦ) is a proposed NunatuKavummiut territory in central and southern Labrador. The region proposed by the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) extends from north of the community of Makkovik in Nunatsiavut to south of the community of Blanc-Sablon in Quebec. It also extends to the west as far as the border between Quebec and Labrador. Previous submissions by the NunatuKavummiut (as the Labrador Métis Nation) included a secondary claim as far north as Nain, the northernmost community in Nunatsiavut.

According to the NCC, the NunatuKavut claimlands correspond to the historic land-use of the Southern Inuit. The NunatuKavut Community Council is considered an Indigenous collective which represents the descendants of mixed Inuit-European people from central and southern Labrador. While both the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples have concluded that the NCC represents a people with a credible but unproven claim to Indigenous rights, at least three land claim submissions have been unsuccessful since it first applied in 1991.

The NunatuKavut Community Council's claims have been opposed by other Indigenous groups in the region. The Innu Nation also includes portions of the proposed NunatuKavut territory in its own land claim. The NCC signed a memorandum of understanding in 2019 with the Canadian government, but this in itself does not confer any Indigenous rights.
