This web page sources the creation of Nunavut to the land claims made by aboriginals as it traces the evolution of people and communities in the Northwest Territories. The ultimate establishment of Nunavut is accounted for by the collective political action of Inuit people who asserted their identity and unity to the federal government and ultimately created a territory in Canada's eastern arctic. Comes from the web home to "Nunavut 99", a publication widely distributed in the north on April 1st, 1999, the day Nunavut was born.
