Inuit Heritage Trust

The Inuit Heritage Trust(IHT) is dedicated to the preservation, enrichment and protection of Inuit heritage and identity embodied in Nunavut's archaeological sites, ethnographic resources, and traditional place names. IHT receives its mandate directly from the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA), Articles 33 and 34. Core funding for IHT comes from Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI), the parent land claim organization whose role it is to advance and protect Inuit interests in Nunavut by assuring that the terms of the Nunavut Political Accord are lived up to. IHT was established through a Trust Deed in 1994 and incorporated in September 1995 through the Canadian Corporations Act.
