Description

In April of 1999, Nunavut became the first territory to enter the federation of Canada since Newfoundland joined in 1949. It's subject to the Canadian Constitution and considered a public government with all citizens having the same rights.

Captivating and diverse, most of Nunavut is above the Arctic Circle, and the vast arctic tundra is home to an extraordinary people and variety of wildlife.
