NunatuKavut (Inuktitut: ᓄᓇᑐᑲᕗᑦ) is a proposed NunatuKavummiut territory in central and southern Labrador.
The members of NunatuKavut claim to be the direct descendants of Inuit that lived in central and southern Labrador prior to European contact, with the European admixture primarily from English men.[1] According to recent censuses completed by Statistics Canada, the majority of individuals living in communities within the NunatuKavut claims area continue to identify as Métis as well as Inuit.[2]
NunatuKavut [ˈnuːnətuːhəvuːt] means "Our ancient land" in the ancestral Inuttitut dialect of central Labrador.
