The Inuit Land Use and Occupancy Project (ILUOP) presented a detailed, comprehensive,
and verifiable basis for the claim that Inuit used and occupied an area in excess of 2.8
million square kilometres at the time the ILUOP was completed in the Northwest Territories

undertaken, the methods and content of the study, and some of the outcomes following
completion of the project.
