Inuit are Indigenous Canadian peoples who were isolated from Europeans longer than other indigenous groups. This is because they live in a cold and remote part of the world called Inuit Nunangat, the large territory encompassing all Inuit regions in Canada. Nunavik, the Quebec part of Inuit Nunangat, is where all of Quebec's northern village municipalities (Municipalité de village nordique, abbreviated as VN are located and the residents are almost all Inuit and are known as Nunavimmiut .[1]
