Inuvialuit Settlement Region
The Inuvialuit Settlement Region is located in the western Arctic of Canada, primarily within the Northwest Territories. It encompasses a vast area of land and water, including parts of the Beaufort Sea. This region is home to the Inuvialuit, an Indigenous people who have lived in the area for thousands of years, relying on the land and sea for their traditional lifestyle.
Established through the Inuvialuit Final Agreement in 1984, the region aims to protect the rights and interests of the Inuvialuit. It includes several communities, such as Inuvik and Aklavik, and is known for its rich wildlife and cultural heritage. The region also plays a significant role in resource management and environmental conservation.
