Nunavik (Inuktitut:ᓄᓇᕕᒃ) comprises the northern third of the province of Quebec, Canada in Kativik, part of the Nord-du-Québec region. Covering a land area of 443,684.71km2 (171,307.62sqmi) north of the 55th parallel, it is the homeland of the Inuit of Quebec. Almost all of the 12,090 inhabitants (2011 census) of the region, of whom 90% are Inuit, live in fourteen northern villages on the coast of Nunavik and in the Creereserved land (TC) of Whapmagoostui, near the northern village of Kuujjuarapik.
Nunavik means "great land" in the local dialect of Inuktitut and the Inuit inhabitants of the region call themselves Nunavimmiut. Until 1912, the region was part of the District of Ungava of the Northwest Territories.
Negotiations for regional autonomy and resolution of outstanding land claims took place in the 2000s. The seat of government would be Kuujjuaq. Negotiations on better empowering Inuit political rights in their land are still ongoing.
Geography
Nunavik is a vast territory, larger than the U.S. state of California, located in the northernmost part of Quebec. It lies in both the Arctic and subarcticclimate zones. All together, about 12,000 people live in Nunavik's communities, and this number has been growing.
Nunavik is an icebreakingbulk carrier owned and operated by the Canadian shipping company Fednav. She is used to transport copper and nickel from the Nunavik Nickel Project, making 7–8 round trips per year.
In October 2012, Fednav announced that it had signed a contract with Japan Marine United Corporation for the construction of a new ice-strengthened bulk carrier at the Tsu shipyard in Tsu, Japan. Previously, the company already operated two similar vessels with independent icebreaking capability: 1978-built Arctic and 2006-built Umiak I.
The keel of the new vessel was launched at the Japanese shipyard on 19 July 2013 and she was launched only two months later on 29 September. Initially set for delivery in December 2013, the new vessel, Nunavik, was completed on 30 January 2014. She is named after Nunavik, the area compromising the northern third of the province of Quebec, Canada.
Several commenters have noted that while it took only couple of years to build Nunavik in Japan, the design and construction of the new polar icebreaker, CCGS John G. Diefenbaker, for the Canadian Coast Guard on a Canadian shipyard will eventually take more than a decade.
Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou (formerly known as Abitibi, Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik, and Nunavik—Eeyou) is a federal riding in the province of Quebec, Canada, that have been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1966.
"Abitibi" was created in 1966, and renamed "Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik". It was abolished in 2003, and most of its territory was incorporated into "Nunavik—Eeyou", which was renamed "Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou" in 2004.
Geography
Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou consists of:
the Regional County Municipality of Vallée-de-l'Or, including: Lac-Simon Indian Reserve; the Indian Settlement of Grand-Lac Victoria;
the Equivalent Territory of Jamésie, including: the Cree villages and reserved lands of Chisasibi, Eastmain, Mistissini, Nemiscau, Waskaganish, Waswanipi and Wemindji; the Indian Settlement of Oujé-Bougoumou, excepting that part of the Municipality of Baie-James lying southerly of latitude 50°00′ N and westerly of longitude 79°00′ W; and

Enquête | Justice in Nunavik - A Change in Wind Direction
Original airdate : Febuary, 24, 2022
The justice system in Nunavik is currently reaching a breaking point. On average, 1,400 people are charged with a criminal offense every year out of a population of only 9,000 adults. That rate is 20 times higher than the provincial average. The majority of cases stem from social problems that affect the region, such as lack of housing and substance abuse. But because of the region’s isolation and lack of infrastructure, offenders as well as victims, aren't entitled to some of the same legal rights as other Quebecers.
The judicial system is struggling to keep up. The turnover rate among prosecutors working in Nunavik is high. The Amos office, which provides legal services in northern Quebec, has seen 14 attorneys leave since 2019.

Le manque de personnel soignant atteint des sommets au Nunavik
Une crise dans les hôpitaux au nord du Québec force le ministre québécois de la Santé, Christian Dubé, à se rendre au Nunavik dans les prochains jours. La Presse a dévoilé que le manque de médecins et d’infirmières dans sept communautés a atteint des sommets inégalés cet été. Pour l’instant, Québec refuse d’appeler l’armée canadienne en renfort même si c’est ce que réclament les autorités locales.

Enquête | La justice au Nunavik : faire tourner le vent
Reportage du 24 février 2022
Le taux de judiciarisation au Nunavik atteint aujourd’hui des sommets critiques. On répertorie une moyenne de 1400 accusations par an, pour une population de seulement 9000 adultes.
Dans la majorité des cas, il s'agit des contrecoups des problèmes sociaux qui minent la région. Le système judiciaire est à bout de souffle et ne suffit plus à la tâche. Il existe des initiatives locales qui s’inspirent des traditions culturelles fondées sur la justice réparatrice et l’harmonie sociale.
Mais moins de 2 % des causes y sont référées par les procureurs aux poursuites criminelles et pénales. Les Inuit veulent reprendre les rênes de la justice.

Nunavik (Inuktitut:ᓄᓇᕕᒃ) comprises the northern third of the province of Quebec, Canada in Kativik, part of the Nord-du-Québec region. Covering a land area of 443,684.71km2 (171,307.62sqmi) north of the 55th parallel, it is the homeland of the Inuit of Quebec. Almost all of the 12,090 inhabitants (2011 census) of the region, of whom 90% are Inuit, live in fourteen northern villages on the coast of Nunavik and in the Creereserved land (TC) of Whapmagoostui, near the northern village of Kuujjuarapik.
Nunavik means "great land" in the local dialect of Inuktitut and the Inuit inhabitants of the region call themselves Nunavimmiut. Until 1912, the region was part of the District of Ungava of the Northwest Territories.
Negotiations for regional autonomy and resolution of outstanding land claims took place in the 2000s. The seat of government would be Kuujjuaq. Negotiations on better empowering Inuit political rights in their land are still ongoing.
Geography
Nunavik is a vast territory, larger than the U.S. state of California, located in the northernmost part of Quebec. It lies in both the Arctic and subarcticclimate zones. All together, about 12,000 people live in Nunavik's communities, and this number has been growing.
