IHT is overseen by a Board of Trustees who are committed to protecting and promoting Nunavut's cultural heritage. These five Trustees serve terms of two to three years.

​

How are Trustees Selected?

​

• Each Regional Inuit Association (RIA) puts forward at least two nominees for Trustee consideration.

• Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) reviews these nominations and selects some Trustees from this pool.

• NTI also directly appoints two additional Trustees.

 

What do Trustees Do?

​

The Trustees act in the best interests of all Nunavut Inuit. They play a vital role in shaping IHT's activities, including:

• Developing policies that guide IHT's work

• Reviewing applications for archaeological permits in Nunavut

• Overseeing research requests and loan applications for collections from Nunavut

• Participating in IHT committees

• Actively contributing to IHT projects and initiatives

 

Through their dedication and expertise, the Board of Trustees ensures that IHT effectively carries out its mandate of preserving and promoting Nunavut's rich cultural heritage.
