Ten-volume set of reports issued by the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada as part of its Renewable Resources Project, prepared in conjunction with the organization’s wider land claims research in the Northwest Territories and northern Yukon during the 1970s. Produced alongside the Inuit Land Use and Occupancy Project and the Non-Renewable Resource Project, the studies were intended to support development of a comprehensive Inuit land settlement proposal, presented to the Federal Cabinet in 1976 under the title Nunavut. The reports examine northern exploration, land use, renewable resources, environmental impacts of industrial development, tourism, wildlife harvesting, and the social and economic effects of resource extraction on Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic.
