Guiding Principles

Over the years, our government has been guided by Inuit Societal Values, including those outlined in Government’s original mandate: Pinasuaqtavut. These societal values are based on the idea that survival in Nunavut’s harsh climate is only achieved by working together on life skills and principles for living. We will continue to be guided by these values from now into the future.
