The Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA) came into effect on July 25, 1984 and was the first comprehensive land claim agreement settled in the NWT.
The Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) covers approximately 225,460 square kilometres in the Mackenzie Delta, Beaufort Sea, and Amundsen Gulf area. Approximately 90,600 square kilometres of land, including 12,980 square kilometres of subsurface mineral rights are owned by the Inuvialuit.
Communities in the ISR include Aklavik, Ulukhaktok, Inuvik, Paulatuk, Sachs Harbour, and Tuktoyaktuk.
The Inuvialuit, through the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC), received capital transfers from the Federal Government, totalling $152 million over 14 years.
The IFA establishes, and provides for Inuvialuit participation on various co-management boards within the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. These include the Fisheries Joint Management Committee, Wildlife Management Advisory Council (NWT), Wildlife Management Advisory Council (North Slope), Environmental Impact Screening Committee and Environmental Impact Review Board. The IFA also establishes the Inuvialuit Game Council to promote and protect Inuvialuit wildlife interests.
