The Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR), located in Canada’s western Arctic, was designated in 1984 in the Inuvialuit Final Agreement by the Government of Canada for the Inuvialuit people. It spans , mostly above the tree line, and includes several subregions: the Beaufort Sea, the Mackenzie River delta, the northern portion of Yukon ("Yukon North Slope"), the northwest portion of Northwest Territories, and the western Canadian Arctic Islands. The ISR includes both Crown Lands and Inuvialuit Private Lands. The ISR is one of the four Inuit regions of Canada, collectively known as Inuit Nunangat,〔(Maps of Inuit Nunangat (Inuit Regions of Canada) )〕 represented by the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK). The other regions include Nunatsiavut in Labrador, Nunavik in northern Quebec, and the territory of Nunavut.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) is the national Inuit organization in Canada )〕 The ISR is the homeland of the Inuvialuit. The Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, established in 1986 as the receiver of the lands and financial compensation of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, is controlled by the Inuvialuit population and is responsible for ISR operations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=IRC Representing the interests of the Inuvialuit in the Western Arctic region. )〕 As of 2013 Nellie Cournoyea, former Premier of the Northwest Territories, is the Chairman of the Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Board of Directors 2013 )〕 The Inuvialuit Settlement Region Database contains descriptions of thousands of publications and research projects about the ISR. It is maintained by the Joint Secretariat—Inuvialuit Renewable Resource Committees〔(Joint Secretariat--Inuvialuit Renewable Resource Committees )〕 and the Arctic Science and Technology Information System. Funding comes from Shell Canada and MGM Energy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Inuvialuit Settlement Region Database )〕 ==Culture== In the 2006 Canada Census, the ISR population was 5,767 people, of which 3,115 were Inuvialuit and formed a majority in all six communities. There are no communities in the Yukon North Slope. Of the six communities in the ISR all are located in the Northwest Territories〔Berkes, p. 123〕 and, along with Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic, form the Inuvik Region.〔(Administrative Regions of the NWT )〕 Inuvik, located on the East Channel of the Mackenzie Delta, approximately from the Arctic Ocean, is the region's administrative centre, home to the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation. The only other inland community, Aklavik, is located on the Peel Channel and is home to Aurora College. Hunting, fishing and trapping are the major economic activities of Paulatuk, in Amundsen Gulf's Darnley Bay, and Sachs Harbour, the only permanent settlement on Banks Island. Tuktoyaktuk, formerly known as "Port Brabant", is set on Kugmallit Bay, near the Mackenzie River Delta. It has the only deepwater port in the ISR. Ulukhaktok, formerly known as "Holman", is located on the west coast of Victoria Island. Printmaking has taken over as the primary source of income in recent years. English is spoken in the entire region. Additionally, Siglitun is spoken in Paulatuk, Sachs Harbour and Tuktoyaktuk. Uummarmiutun is spoken in Inuvik and Aklavik. Inuinnaqtun is spoken in Ulukhaktok and nowhere else in the Northwest Territories. Together they are grouped under Inuvialuktun. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inuvialuit Settlement Region」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
