Inuvialuit Settlement Region
Nestled within Canada's Arctic, the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) is a land of pristine wilderness and cultural significance. It is home to the Inuvialuit, an indigenous people with a deep-rooted connection to this remote and awe-inspiring landscape. The Inuvialuit have traversed a remarkable path towards self-determination and cultural preservation, culminating in the historic Inuvialuit Final Agreement. This landmark treaty, negotiated and signed in 1984, stands as a testament to the resilience and vision of the Inuvialuit people. The Inuvialuit Final Agreement marked a turning point in their history, granting them substantial autonomy, land rights, and the ability to shape their own future. This agreement not only secured their traditional lands but also established the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, providing a platform for self-governance and sustainable development within the ISR.
