Nunavut Tunngavik

Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) was formed in 1993 to replace the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut. It is the incorporated organization that represents Inuit under the NLCA. NTI's mission is to foster Inuit economic, social and cultural well-being through the implementation of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. NTI is governed by a 10-member Board of Directors elected by Inuit in Nunavut who are 16 years of age and older. NTI has a staff of 90 people in four offices, including an office in Ottawa. NTI is responsible for the management of all Inuit-Owned Lands in Nunavut and acts as the advocate of Inuit interests in Nunavut. The organization also provides a number of programs to Inuit, including support to Inuit development corporations and community economic development organizations, an Elders pension plan, a harvester support program, and a bereavement travel program.
