Inuit communities

Inuit live in communities. They are referred to as communities in the Arctic, and more commonly as Inuit communities in southern Canada.

Inuit never lived on reserves. Therefore, the terms "on-reserve" and "off-reserve" do not apply to Inuit, only to First Nations. Wording that is supposed to cover all Aboriginal communities — for example, a reference to people "living on a reserve, off a reserve, or in urban areas" — must add in "Inuit communities" to be inclusive of Inuit living in the North.
