Land Ownership

The discussions about owning you're own land and cabins on Labrador Inuit Lands just completed on Wednesday, with the last visits to North West River and the Upper Lake Melville Region.

Bob Warren is an official for the Minister of Lands and Resources, William Barbour.

He says Nunatsiavut Government has released a new policy on traditional Tenure, and that Labrador Inuit who are occupying Labrador Inuit land can receive free title.

Which means they can have ownership of land where their cabins are located.

Warren says he has been traveling to all the north coast communities to discuss the option with beneficiaries.

He says he is very pleased with the turnout and interest from the communities he visited.

He says one of the big concerns had come about through a misunderstanding, was that they were going to lose the location of their land and cabin. This was cleared up during the discussions.

Warren says to get title to you're land and cabin, applications are available at the Nunatsiavut Government offices.

It would also be helpful if you had a sketch of you're land where the cabin is located or a map.

If anyone should have any problems in filling their applications, they can go to their liaison worker in their community for help.

There will be follow ups on the applications and an upcoming meeting in the fall.
