Abstract
The Nunatsiavut Heritage Forum, held annually since 2010 and overseen by the Nunatsiavut Government Archaeology Office, brings together people involved in heritage work from all five constituent Inuit Communities as well as interested public to discuss issues of concern and set goals to address them. It has rapidly become the primary venue for public engagement on heritage matters as well as the planning and practice of archaeology in the territory. The forum is held in a different community each year, providing an opportunity to celebrate the unique history of each hamlet and prioritize their specific needs. Archaeology, the request for specific local projects, and how they are undertaken, have been discussed at each forum to date. In 2015, a SSHRC-supported partnership grant between the Nunatsiavut Government and Memorial University called Tradition and Transition Among the Labrador Inuit was created to address community heritage concerns and interests raised through the forum by partnering archaeologists and other heritage specialists with communities to help Nunatsiavut meet these goals. Today, as the partnership draws to a close, we reflect back on what has been accomplished, what has been learned, and how we might move forward together.

Résumé
Le forum Nunatsiavut Heritage qui se tient annuellement depuis 2010 sous la gouverne du Nunatsiavut Government Archaeology Office, rassemble les acteurs de cinq communautés inuit impliqués dans le secteur du patrimoine ainsi que des membres du public. Au cours du forum, les préoccupations associées au patrimoine sur le territoire sont identifiées, et on tente de trouver des moyens d’y répondre. Ce forum est rapidement devenu l’évènement principal au cours duquel les questions associées à la mobilisation du public dans le domaine du patrimoine étaient discutées, de même que la planification des activités archéologiques sur le territoire. Chaque année, le forum a lieu dans un village différent pour célébrer son histoire distincte et identifier les besoins spécifiques à la communauté. Jusqu’à présent, chaque forum a donné lieu à des discussions sur l’archéologie, la nécessité de mettre en place des projets spécifiques et la manière de les réaliser. En 2015, une subvention CRSH de développement de partenariat entre le gouvernement du Nunatsiavut et Memorial University a permis de mettre en place le projet Tradition & Transition Among the Labrador Inuit pour répondre aux différentes préoccupations et promouvoir les intérêts des communautés inuit à propos du patrimoine. Les archéologues ont collaboré avec d’autres spécialistes du patrimoine ainsi qu’avec le public pour atteindre les objectifs définis au cours des forums. Maintenant que ce projet est terminé, nous analysons ce qui a été accompli et ce que nous avons appris pour définir de manière collective quelles seront les actions à entreprendre dans le futur.
