Parks Canada Agency is a federal government agency responsible for the protection and presentation of Canada’s natural and cultural resources through a system of national parks, national marine conservation areas and national historic sites in all regions of Canada.

L’Agence Parcs Canada est un organisme fédéral chargé de protéger et de mettre en valeur les ressources naturelles et culturelles du Canada en administrant un réseau de parcs nationaux, d’aires marines nationales de conservation et de lieux historiques nationaux disséminés dans toutes les régions du pays.

In Nunavut, Inuit and Parks Canada cooperatively manage five national parks, one national historic site and one national marine conservation area. They are: Auyuittuq National Park, Sirmilik National Park, Qausuittuq National Park, Quttinirpaaq National Park, Ukkusiksalik National Park, the Wrecks of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site and Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area. Long before these areas received federal protection, Inuit lived, harvested and travelled these lands and waters. Many staff have connections to these places through their families and ancestors. To this day, harvesting and use by Inuit remains a protected right under the Nunavut Agreement.

Au Nunavut, les Inuit et Parcs Canada gèrent conjointement cinq parcs nationaux, un lieu historique national et une aire marine nationale de conservation : le parc national Auyuittuq, le parc national Sirmilik, le parc national Qausuittuq, le parc national Quttinirpaaq, le parc national Ukkusiksalik, le lieu historique national des Épaves-du-HMS Erebus-et-du-HMS Terror et l’aire marine nationale de conservation Tallurutiup Imanga. Bien avant que ces endroits deviennent protégés par le gouvernement fédéral, les Inuit vivaient et se déplaçaient sur ces terres et ces eaux et en tiraient leur subsistance. De nombreux membres du personnel ont des liens familiaux et ancestraux avec ces lieux. À ce jour, en vertu de l’Accord sur les revendications territoriales du Nunavut, les Inuits conservent un droit de récolte et d’utilisation des ressources.

Founded in 1977 by the late Eben Hopson of Barrow, Alaska, the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC) has flourished and grown into a major international non-government organization representing approximately 180,000 Inuit of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Chukotka (Russia). The organization holds Consultative Status II at the United Nations.

To thrive in their circumpolar homeland, Inuit had the vision to realize they must speak with a united voice on issues of common concern and combine their energies and talents towards protecting and promoting their way of life. The principal goals of ICC are, therefore, to strengthen unity among Inuit of the circumpolar region; promote Inuit rights and interests on an international level; develop and encourage long-term policies that safeguard the Arctic environment; and seek full and active partnership in the political, economic, and social development of circumpolar regions.
