The present Agreement constitutes a final settlement of the aboriginal rights of the Labrador Inuit in Canada and exhaustively sets out the rights of the Labrador Inuit that recognized and confirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. In exchange for the rights and benefits specified in the Agreement, Inuit will cede and release to Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador all of their aboriginal rights outside of Labrador Inuit Lands and Aboriginal rights related to subsurface resources in Labrador Inuit Lands. The Labrador Inuit will retain all other aboriginal rights in Labrador Inuit Lands. Continuing Aboriginal rights are modified as set out in the Agreement and must be exercised in ways that are consistent with the Agreement.
