It has come to attention of the Department of Lands and Natural Resources that there is some confusion on where and when a Nunatsiavut beneficiary can harvest plants and animals.
As defined under chapter 12, section 12.3.1 of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims agreement, beneficiaries have the right to harvest wildlife and plants, under the terms of this chapter, throughout Labrador Inuit Settlement Area and Labrador Inuit Lands at all times of the year, subject to Inuit Laws, a restriction on seasons, Federal laws on firearms control.
In Nunatsiavut, there is no restrictions on seasons imposed currently where you can harvest plants and animals. It should be noted that there are licenses needed for Polar Bear, moose, and salmon. The harvesting of caribou is not permitted in any area in Nunatsiavut outside of the Torngat Mountains National Park.
If have any questions, you may contact your local Conservation Officer in your community.
