Summary Information:
Nunavut (the Inuktitut word for our land) was created on the 1 April 1999 as a result of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. It is a territory that spans the two million square kilometres of Canada extending north and west of Hudson's Bay, above the tree line to the North Pole. Inuit represent about 85 percent of the population, and form the foundation of the Territory's culture. Government, business and day-to-day life are shaped by Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, the traditional knowledge, values and wisdom of Nunavut's founding people.
