  Indian and Northern Affairs Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (FIP: Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, French: Affaires indiennes et du Nord Canada) is the department of the government of Canada with responsibility for policies governing First Nations of Canada and Canada's three northern territories.
With respect to the Inuit of Nunavut, the department and its Minister have the challenge of implementing "The Nunavut Project." Authored by Thomas Berger, this is a report of recommendations to increase Inuit participation in Nunavut's federal and territorial public service.
In 1970 legislation establishing the department was amended.

 2004 Report of the Auditor General of Canada - November - Chapter 5 - Indian and Northern Affairs Canada - Education ...
We found that the Department and the participating First Nations lack a common understanding of their roles and responsibilities and that the agreement is ambiguous (see The Mi'kmaq Education Agreement).
While the Department is committed to moving forward with First Nations and other partners as quickly as possible, given the complexity of issues such as jurisdiction, geography, and demography (as outlined in Appendix A of this chapter), it is clear that success in First Nations education must be measured over the longer term.
Indian and Northern Affairs Canada is the main federal organization responsible for administering elementary and secondary education for First Nations students living on reserves, and for supporting First Nations and Inuit post-secondary education.

The Department of Northern Development was instituted to protect the economic and corporate interests of the non-native people whose immigrant populations are larger (“greater”) in number.
Indian Affairs are based on Native Sovereign Right and/or historical treaties with regard to the question of recently assumed jurisdiction by colonial governments.

Northern Aboriginal populations are growing rapidly and have a high proportion of people under 25, compared to national figures.
The cornerstones of the northern economy are: government expenditures; mining and exploration of gold, lead, zinc and, most recently, diamonds; tourism; oil and gas exploration and development; and the traditional pursuits of hunting, fishing, trapping, and arts and crafts.
