Inuit
Inuit are one of three groupings of Indigenous peoples in Canada, the other two being Métis and First Nations. Inuit traditional territory includes land in the northern portions of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Quebec and Labrador — an area collectively known as Inuit Nunangat. This collection brings together resources on The Canadian Encyclopedia related to Inuit, including articles, timelines, education guides, quizzes and videos. For other collections related to Indigenous peoples, see Métis, First Nations and Indigenous Treaties in Canada.

Timelines
Indigenous Peoples
Indigenous nations tell their own stories about the origins of the world and their place in it; all claim their ancestry dates to time immemorial. At the same time, there is considerable archeological debate about when humans first came to North America, though broad assumptions suggest waves of migration from northeastern Asia, by both land bridge and boat, between 30,000 and 13,500 years ago.
Note: This timeline presents key events and developments in Indigenous history in what is now Canada, from time immemorial to present. While no timeline can be exhaustive in its coverage, it provides a broad chronological overview to support educators and students.
Northwest Territories
The Northwest Territories lie northwest of central Canada, bordered to the east by Nunavut, to the west by the Yukon and to the south by the northeastern corner of British Columbia, as well as the entire northern borders of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Nunavut
Nunavut, which translates from the Inuktitut dialect of the Eastern Arctic Inuit as "Our Land," is a Canadian territory.
Residential Schools
Residential schools were established by Christian churches and the federal government to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian society.
Arctic Exploration
Humans have been exploring the North American Arctic for centuries, beginning about 5,000 years ago when Palaeoeskimos were looking for a homeland, followed by the Thule — ancestors of the Inuit. Europeans began exploring the Arctic in the Elizabethan era when English seamen sought a shortcut to Asia by the seas north of America — the so-called Northwest Passage.
