UINR is responsible for Mi'kmaq natural resources and overseeing environmental issues in Cape Breton. Education of and enforcing policies for commercial fisheries, forestry services, and resource management are among UINR's primary duties. Further areas of focus include aquatic research and stewardship, native species management, traditional Mi’kmaq knowledge, conserving all protected areas, monitoring of water quality, and establishing environmental partnerships.[2]
The guiding principle that directs all of the work at UINR is a concept called Netukulimk, a Mi'kmaq word that loosely means 'sustainability'. It is about achieving adequate standards of community nutrition and economic well-being without jeopardizing the integrity, diversity or productivity of our environment.
As stated on the UINR official website, the three goals of the organization are governance, two-eyed seeing, and partnerships. The goal of governance lies in making networks for support and policy-enforcement available, to enable equal participation of Mi’kmaq in natural resource management, in Unama’ki and traditional territory. Two-eyed seeing is the continual strengthening of Mi’kmaw research and natural resource management, coming from the perspective of traditions and Mi’kmaw world views. Partnerships simply means to network with other groups who share similar goals, of conserving and protecting all natural resources for future generations.[3]
