This is a partial list of Canadian Inuit. The Arctic and subarctic dwelling Inuit (formerly referred to as Eskimo) are a group of culturally similar Canadian Aboriginals inhabiting the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik (Quebec) and Nunatsiavut (Labrador).
The names of the communities are given as they were at the time of the birth or death. Those people who were born or died prior to 1 April 1999 were actually born in the Northwest Territories but are listed as Nunavut.
