ST. JOHN'S — The 5,300 members of the Labrador Inuit Associations moved closer to self government with the initialling Friday afternoon of a land claim agreement with Ottawa and the province.

The agreement still has to be ratified by the Inuit in a referendum, and by the House of Assembly and Parliament.
