Explore Our Maps Nunavut Nunavut Nunavut became Canada's third territory April 1, 1999. For the first time since the entry of Newfoundland into Confederation fifty years ago, the internal boundaries of Canada have changed. Carved entirely out of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut covers 2 million square kilometres, or approximately one-fifth of Canada’s surface. Although the Northwest Territories has been reduced several times in the course of Canadian history, this most recent boundary change is unique in that it is the result of an initiative by the Aboriginal inhabitants of the Territory. Indeed, eighty-three percent of the 26 000 residents of Nunavut are Inuit. "Nunavut" is an Inuktitut word meaning "Our Land."

This date, we are told, was not chosen for any significant or sinister reason other than it was the start of a new fiscal year.

27. Kugaardjuq School, Pelly Bay, Nunavut, Canada A Short history of. Kugaaruk. In 1968, the Canadian government transportedthirtytwo prefabricated houses into Pelly Bay. The Birth of nunavut http://www.polarnet.ca/~pellybay/history.html

A Short History of Kugaaruk In 1968, the Canadian government transported thirty-two prefabricated houses into Pelly Bay. Until then, the Arviligjuaqmiut lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle. Small family groups, living in igluit (igloos) and skin tents, followed the caribou that sustained them. Occasionally, groups would come together to hunt and fish. In 1937, when the Catholic mission was established here, groups would meet for Christmas celebrations at Kugaarjuk (the mouth of the Kugajuk River), then separate again to pursue their nomadic cycle. The first Catholic missionary, Father Pierre Henri, arrived in 1935. He built a small stone chapel/house, but soon learned that stone wasn't a good insulator in this harsh climate. Instead, he adopted Inuit ways, living in an iglu and wearing traditional Inuit clothing during the cold months. He and Father Franz Van de Velde, who remained a powerful force in the community until 1965, built the stone church in 1941. Recently, the Hamlet of Pelly Bay received a government grant to restore the deteriorating church as a historic site. Until 1955, when the DEW (Distant Early Warning) Line construction began, people here had almost no contact with the outside world. In 1829, English explorer John Ross camped nearby, but no whalers or Hudson's Bay Co. trading post ever came to Pelly Bay. Ice jams around the islands guarding the Bay's mouth made access almost impossible.

Canada Canada History and Government History: The first inhabitants of Canada are thought to have moved across the Bering Straits from Siberia during the last Ice Age. Traces of up to a dozen distinct groups of Inuit (Eskimos) have been discovered across the far northern regions of North America. The first Europeans to reach Canada were descendants of Norse seafarers who had settled in Iceland and in Greenland during the 9th and 10th centuries. Remains of three Norse settlements have been identified on the eastern seaboard, but these were evidently not permanent. The next wave of European arrivals was led by the Italian navigator Giovanni Caboto (better known as John Cabot) in an early attempt to seek out a North–West passage to Asia in 1497. Over the next 100 years, attracted by rich fishing grounds, English and French commercial interests settled in parts of Newfoundland. This period also saw the first major incursion inland following the discovery of the St Lawrence River by the French explorer Jacques Cartier. During the 17th century, backed by the French crown and, especially, Cardinal Richelieu, the French pushed further into Canada while significantly expanding their trading operations in Canada under the auspices of the New France Company which operated in much the same manner as the English and Dutch concerns (such as the East India Company) in India and the Far East. Relations with the local Inuit were inevitably mixed. The territory was also attracting interest from elsewhere.

Government Executive power is vested in the British monarch, the Head of State, who is responsible for appointing the Governor General, currently Adrienne Clarkson. The Prime Minister, elected cabinet ministers, a 104-member Senate and a House of Commons make up the Federal Parliament. Members of the House of Commons are directly elected, while members of the Senate are appointed by the Prime Minister. The ten provinces of Canada each has a Lieutenant Governor and a local legislature, in power for up to 5 years. There are also three territories (Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut) constituted by Acts of Parliament. Several recent attempts to amend the Constitution have been rejected by popular referendum.

This is the part of Canada that the European explorers first came to and began to set up settlements. This area is both rich in natural resources and history. The area was first inhabited by the First Nations people who hunted and fished here for thousands of years. In the late 1500's and early 1600's Jaques Cartier arrived from France which marked the beginning of settlements in Canada. French settlers who became known as Acadians were the first Europeans to settle permanently in Canada. Over time they were joined by settlers from the British Isles and Germany. In the 1700's British refugees from the American War of Independence that were still loyal to the crown (called Loyalists) came to this area from the United States. Some of the earliest Black settlers moved to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

A Guide to Iqaluit, Nunavut The topography in the area consists of gently rolling, treeless hills, and there are a wide variety of things to do for both visitors and residents. There are several ancient Thule ruins nearby, and Qaummaarviit Territorial Park, just offshore, offers great hiking and photography opportunities as well. In the city, high-quality regional arts and crafts are available in several shops. The first Europeans ( qallunaat to the Inuit) into Frobisher Bay were the crew of Martin Frobisher's ship Gabriel , in August 1576. The bay was a disappointment, though, as they were seeking the Northwest Passage, the mythical northern shortcut to Asia. No Europeans settled in the bay until 1914, when a trading post was established to tap the riches of Baffin Island. It was World War II that eventually brought modern development to the bay. In 1941, a weather station, code-named Crystal II, was built by the US Air Force to assist in trans-Atlantic flight planning. A large air base was built by the United States the following summer, to refuel aircraft headed for Europe - after the war, Canada purchased it for $6.8 million. Frobisher Bay was an important location all through the Cold War as well, from the construction of the first radar station in 1953, to the official closure of the Canadian Air Command detachment on December 1, 1983. In 1987, its strategic importance was again recognized when it was designated as one of five Forward Operating Locations for the new CF-18 fighter jets.
