Active members are individuals who are Inuit, over 16 years of age, and have lived in Manitoba for 3 months or more.
Associate members are individuals who are Inuit living outside of Manitoba, Inuit under the age of 16, or non-Inuit.

Once Inuit move to Manitoba for more than three months, they can notify MUIA Membership Coordinator [LINK TO Members@manitobainuit.ca] to be made Active members automatically.
Organizational members are organizations who wish to further the work of MUIA by supporting the organization, who represent Inuit or have an interest in Inuit community activities and who have been accepted by the Directors as Organizational Members.
