Inuit Heritage Trust and Nunavut Archaeology
IHT's role in Nunavut Archaeology is defined in the Nunavut Agreement. While the Government of Nunavut's (GN) Department of Culture and Heritage are the regulatory body, IHT shares governance responsibilities for Nunavut's cultural heritage.
Our Goals
1) Increase Inuit access to archaeological materials and data;
2) Build capacity among Nunavut Inuit to lead archaeology projects; and,
3) Address Nunavut communities' priorities and concerns.
