The Arctic people whose patient negotiation carved a new territory from Canada's map and gave the Inuit the homeland their ancestors always knew was theirs.
Nunavut Inuit — the Inuit people of Canada's newest and largest territory whose creation on April 1, 1999 represented the most significant act of Indigenous self-determination in Canadian history, carving from the eastern Northwest Territories a jurisdiction of two million square kilometers — larger than Western Europe — governed by and for the Inuit majority who constitute 85 percent of its population, making Nunavut the only jurisdiction in North America where an Indigenous people exercise effective democratic control over a public government. The Nunavut Land Claims Agreement of 1993 that preceded territorial creation granted the Inuit title to 350,000 square kilometers of land and subsurface rights to 36,000 square kilometers, the largest Indigenous land claim settlement in Canadian history, fulfilling a vision of Inuit homeland that elders had pursued since the relocation policies of the 1950s had scattered families across the Arctic in one of Canada's most painful colonial experiments.
