Introduction In 2010, Inuit Tuttarvingat of the National Aboriginal Health Organization (IT of NAHO) began a project to address social service gaps and needs for Inuit children. With the invaluable guidance of a broad-based Reference Group, the focus of the research became Inuit child welfare and family support. Lisa Rae, a Sauvé Foundation scholar based at McGill University, compiled four reference lists related to the topic. In addition to this list of General Documents, three other lists are available:

Inuit Child Welfare and Family Support – Inuit-Related Documents. Inuit Child Welfare and Family Support – Aboriginal-Related Documents. Inuit Child Welfare and Family Support – International Indigenous Documents.
