Nain or Naina (Inuit: ''Nunajnguk'')〔(Civilization.ca )〕 is the northernmost permanent settlement in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, located about 370 kilometres by air from Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The town was established as a Moravian mission in 1771 by Jens Haven and other missionaries. As of 2011, the population is 1,424 mostly Inuit and mixed Inuit-European.
== History ==
On December 1, 2005, Nain became the administrative capital of the autonomous region of Nunatsiavut which is the name chosen by the Labrador Inuit when the ''Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement Act'' was successfully ratified by the Canadian Government and the Inuit of Labrador. Hopedale, further south, is the legislative capital.〔http://www.nunatsiavut.com/en/indexe.php〕 The land claim cedes limited self-rule for the Nunatsiavut government in Northern Labrador and North-Eastern Quebec, granting title and aboriginal rights.〔 The land that comprises the Nunatsiavut government is called the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area, or LISA, which amount to approximately 72,500 km2 (28,000miles2).〔http://www.nunatsiavut.com/en/landclaim.php〕 The Inuit of Labrador do not own this land per se, but they do have special rights related to traditional land use as aboriginals. That said, the Labrador Inuit will own 15,000 km2 (6,100miles2) within the Settlement Area, officially designated as Labrador Inuit Lands. The Agreement also provides for the establishment of the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve, consisting of about of land within LISA.〔〔http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/nl/torngats/Index_E.asp〕 Nunatsiavut is not to be confused with the Nunavut territory.
Many Inuit from Hebron were relocated to Nain by the provincial government after the Moravian mission at Hebron was closed under government pressure in 1959.
