I was told by the public affairs person at the Labrador Inuit Association that the colors of the flag deliberately echo that of the Labrador flag.

This a First Nations territory - not at the same level as Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, or Yukon. It is in Newfoundland and Labrador, and echoes the development of a similar First Nations people who establish a territory in northwestern British Columbia last year.

According to the settlement agreement, the settlement applies to Labrador. There is also a Nunatsiavut claim in Quebec which is not part of this agreement.
