Timeline
To learn more about Nunatsiavut's history, view an interactive timeline designed specifically for this project. This timeline is a living document that provides a history of important events from the 1700s to today, relating to issues like Politics and Self-Governance, Economic Development, Environment and Parks, Health, Housing, Infrastructure and Essential Services, and Education. Each event is colour-coded based on these categories, making it interesting to examine which categories tend to occur alongside other categories, which are the most common, and which are the least common. The timeline currently has 224 events with many more to come.
