Nunatsiavut on NunatuKavut

The Nunatsiavut Minister responsible for helping to preserve the language on the north coast of Labrador is insulted by virtual language classes being offered to members of the NunatuKavut Community Council.

Nunatsiavut does not recognize NunatuKavut proposed land claims as the Inuit of Southern and Central Labrador.

The Nunatsiavut acknowledges that some members of the rival group have some Indigenous ancestry and back ground but they are not entitled to Inuit rights.

Nunatsiavut Language Minister Roxanne Barbour says in teaching Inuktitut to its members, Nunatsiavut is appropriating the language and culture of the Inuit on the north coast of Labrador.

Barbour says on page six of the NCC’s document claiming southern Inuit heritage they claim a different language system than those in Northern Labrador, but are using northern Labrador’s language system to revitalize and reconcile their own language.
