All committee members are living in Nain except for one, who now lives in Happy Valley Goose Bay.

Donald Dicker Senior of Nain is a Registrar of Beneficiaries.

He says it is hard sometimes for the committee members to decide whether a person qualifies as a beneficiary of Nunatsiavut.

Dicker says the committee members have an eligibility criteria to follow.

The criteria was passed after the Final Land Claims Agreement was signed in 2005.

He says anyone applying who lives outside of the land claims area , must provide proof of being a descendant of an Inuk with 25% Inuk blood. Proof would be by a family tree and two sponsors living in the land claims area.

And a Kablunangajuk whom is not known by anyone in the claims area does not qualify.

Everyone living outside of the claims area must have a proof of ancestry.

The Nain Membership Committee have about fifteen applications to review today at the Nunatsiavut Government office.
