THE KIVALLIQ INUIT ASSOCIATION

Created for the representation of all Inuit living in the Kivalliq
region, Nunavut, the Kivalliq Inuit Association (KIA) is a

Designated Inuit Organization under the Nunavut Land Claims
Agreement. The KIA is an integral organization ensuring Inuit are

represented in a fair and democratic manner in the development,

protection, administration and advancement of their rights
and benefits as an aboriginal people; as well as to promote

their economic, social, political and cultural well-being through

succeeding generations.

KIA’s goals are integral to its mission of preserving Inuit heritage,

culture and language. KIA does this through the management of
Inuit-owned lands in the region and providing information to, and

consulting with, land claims beneficiaries on land use. Protecting
Arctic Wildlife and the environment, thereby preserving traditional

uses for current and future generations, and assisting Inuit in the

Kivalliq region in training and preparation for a Nunavut Territory
are also the mission of the KIA.
