Inuit

Inuit means "The People". Evidence in remote northern regions of Labrador suggest that various groups of Inuits have lived in Labrador for thousands of year They did not settle in one place, they moved to wherever the fishing and hunting were good.

The Inuit began settling in permanent communities built by Moravian Missionaries, a group that came to Labrador from Germany in the 1700's. These missionaries came to teach their religion to the people along the coast.

Today most of Labrador's Inuit population still live in North Coast communities. The traditional hunting, fishing and trapping is still an important part of their lifestyle. The language the Inuit people speak is Inuktitut and is still commonly spoken by the elders.
