Understanding the Labrador Inuit land claims agreement : a summary, September 2003

"The Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement reconciles the rights of the Inuit with the sovereignty of the Crown. It symbolizes our hope that the Inuit of Labrador and all Canadians will share a future of mutual recognition and respect. The Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement is fair and honourable. It offers Inuit opportunities for dignity, self reliance and self determination within the fabric of Canadian society. This summary sets out the main features and basic principles of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement, initialed August 29, 2003 in St. John's. This summary is an introduction to the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement. It is intended to help people to understand the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement by providing general information about the agreement. Labrador Inuit Association has tried to ensure that the information is accurate, but has simplified agreement provisions that are very detailed and complex. The booklet does not describe every provision of every chapter. In order to have a complete and fully accurate understanding of the agreement, it is necessary to refer to the actual text and maps of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement."--ASTIS [online] bibliography
