Nunavut

Nunavut is a large, northern territory in Canada, established in 1999 to provide an autonomous region for Inuit people. It covers about 2 million square kilometers, making it the fifth-largest country subdivision in the world, though much of it is sparsely populated. The territory encompasses Arctic landscapes, including islands, tundra, and ice-covered waters. Its culture is predominantly Inuit, and the region emphasizes indigenous governance, with land and resource management respecting Inuit traditions. Nunavut’s economy relies on natural resources, subsistence hunting, and arts, and it faces challenges related to remote living, climate change, and infrastructure development.
