NunatuKavut (, "Our Ancient Land") is a proposed NunatuKavummiut territory in central and southern Labrador. Previous submissions by the Nunatuĸavummiut (as the Labrador Métis Nation) included a secondary claim as far north as Nain, the northernmost community in Nunatsiavut.
According to the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC), the NunatuKavut claim correspond to the historic land-use of the Southern Inuit. The NCC is considered an Indigenous collective which represents the descendants of mixed Inuit-European people from central and southern Labrador. While both the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples have concluded that the NCC represents a people with a credible but unproven claim to Indigenous rights, at least three land claim submissions have been unsuccessful since it first applied in 1991.
