In 1994, Inuit in Canada’s four land claims settlement regions formed the Pan Arctic Inuit Logistics Corporation (PAIL), committed to initiating and developing economic opportunities for Inuit to promote financial self-sufficiency of Inuit individuals and communities.

Pan Arctic Inuit Logistics (PAIL) Corporation is jointly owned by Kitikmeot Corporation, Inuvialuit Development Corporation, Sakku Investments Corporation, Qikiqtaaluk Corporation, Makivik Corporation, and the Nunatsiavut Group, with each shareholder holding an equal 16.7% ownership stake in the corporation.
