I only know of 1 forced relocation the Quebec -> High Circle relocation after WW2. I don't believe that's what they are referring too. Unless they mean the standard first nation reservation rules. Which are not applicable for Inuit from what I understand.
The government had multiple "relocation" ventures beyond the high arctic relocations and it's not much of a stretch to call it the standard policy from that period. HBC also did an experiment with the now-deserted town of Devon's harbour. Other examples include Nueltin lake and Banks Island.
