Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the Inuit Nunangat policy has been endorsed during a press conference on Thursday in Ottawa.

Trudeau made the announcement alongside the president of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Natan Obed and Marc Miller, Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations Canada.

The policy recognizes Inuit Nunangat, an area that comprises much of the North, as a distinct geographical, cultural and political region.

Obed noted that Inuit are not part of the Indian Act and have a distinct relationship with the Crown, making a policy like this important to respect Inuit self-determination.

Trudeau said earlier the document also provides a blueprint for ensuring that the needs and perspectives of Inuit are reflected in all federal policies, programs, services and initiatives that apply in the area, or that they would benefit Inuit.
