Happy Birthday, Nunavut April 1, Canada's Northwest Territories will divide in two: the eastern portion, comprising 1.9 million square kilometers of northern land, will become Nunavut, which means "our land" in Inuktitut. If you can't get to Iqualuit, the capital, in person, visit electronically via the Nunavut site, which calls itself the information gateway to Nunavut. Practice your Inuktitut, explore, or participate virtually in the massive celebrations. The Council for Canadian Unity provides useful information and links to Nunavut organizations, government structure and background. For added interest, read or download the voluminous text of the land claims agreement that preceded establishment of the new territory.
