Nunavut Located in the eastern Canadian Arctic, Nunavut is the country's largest and newest territory. It is the homeland of native Canadians called the Inuit, who make up nearly 85 percent of Nunavut's population. In 1999, Nunavut became a self-governing Inuit territory. It is the first territory to have a majority native population. Nunavut means "our land" in the language of the Inuit. (JERRY KOBALENKOGETTY IMAGES) |
