traveller's guide to Canada's Arctic.

In 1999, the Northwest Territories will divide into two territories. The eastern territory will be called Nunavut.

The new Nunavut Territory is home to and will be self-governed by the Inuit ­ a remarkable people who are keepers of an ancient culture that stretches back thousands of years. Nunavut means "Our Land" in Inuktitut, the Inuit language. In size, Nunavut encompasses about one fifth of the land mass of Canada. It is a land of incredible diversity, vast wildlife and unforgettable beauty. It is one of the last great unspoiled wilderness habitats on earth and well worth discovering.
