Nunavut Tunngavik is an Inuit representational organization. We represent the beneficiaries of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. All Inuit who are eligible to be beneficiaries of our land claim make up what is sometimes called the “birthright organization”. This department--social and cultural development--is responsible specifically for the implementation of one of our articles, article 32, which deals with social and cultural development.
In general, we are an advocate. We do not deliver programs or services. We're not a part of government. We are an Inuit advocate.
