It was once spoken across northern Labrador by Inuit people, whose traditional lands have now been consolidated as Nunatsiavut and Nunatukavut . The language has a distinct writing system, created by German missionaries from the Moravian Church in Greenland in the 1760s. This separate writing tradition, the remoteness of Nunatsiavut from other Inuit communities, and its unique history of cultural contacts have made it into a distinct dialect with a separate literary tradition. It shares features, including Schneider s Law, the reduction of alternate sequences of consonant clusters by simplification, with some Inuit dialects spoken in Quebec. It is differentiated by the tendency to neutralize velars and uvulars, i.e. g r , and k q in word final and pre consonantal positions, as well as by the assimilation of consonants in clusters, compared to other dialects. Morphological systems juk vuk and syntactic patterns e.g. the ergative have similarly diverged. Nor are the Labrador dialects uniform there are separate variants traceable to a number of regions, e.g. Rigolet, Nain, Hebron, etc. Although Nunatsiavut claims over 4,000 inhabitants of Inuit descent, only 550 reported any Inuit language to be their mother tongue in the 2001 census, mostly in the town of Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador Nain .

Consensus government is a form of consensus democracy system of government government fact date December 2011 in Canada in the Northwest Territories , Nunavut , as well as Nunatsiavut , an autonomous area in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador . The population of these jurisdictions are majority Aboriginal peoples in Canada aboriginal . The system developed in the Northwest Territories beginning during the 1970s, and was adopted by Nunavut when it came into existence in 1999. Origins and development In 1905, the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan were separated from the then much larger Northwest Territories. The Yukon Territory had been created in 1898 to facilitate governance of the Yukon goldfields, and both Ontario and Quebec were granted large areas of northern lands. The remaining lands were considered to be unsettled by Europeans, largely inhabited by Dene, M tis and Inuit, and not requiring much governance. The Commissioner of the Northwest Territories, a functionary reporting to the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs in Ottawa, was given plenary governing authority. A Legislative Council was convened from time to time of worthy notables, learned in matters involving the natives and northern development. The 2nd Council of the Northwest Territories met sporadically, typically in Ottawa, and passed Ordinances for the benefit of the territory. Beginning during the 1950s and 1960s some residents of the Territory were appointed or elected to the Council. These elected members were initially non native, but in growing number, were Dene, M tis and Inuit. Members began to secure positions on the Executive Council, replacing appointed Ottawa administrators, and began to insist on a devolution of authority. In a series of letters, the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs gradually curtailed the authority of the Commissioner and affirmed the authority of the Assembly. The first fully elected Executive Council elected in 1980 was led by George Braden , ... more details
