National Profile History History Acadia The first French colony on North American soil was founded in 1604 on the shores of the Bay of Fundy at Port Royal, Nova Scotia. According to the 1671 census, the colony had 320 people. By 1714, the population had risen to 2,500 and by 1755 to 16,000. After the deportation of 1755, Acadians were widely scattered throughout the continent, settling particularly in the English-speaking colonies of the east coast of the United States, and in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Quebec in Canada. It is estimated that at the turn of the 19th century there were 8400 Acadians in the Atlantic provinces and that these Acadians, along the coast where they lived, formed many communities on the fringes of the existing dominant society. While there is little doubt that because of their isolation they could not profit fully from a developing market economy, they were, nonetheless, able to develop their own culture and with the help of the clergy, an Acadian elite evolved that contributed to the development of colleges, convents, hospitals and charitable organizations. From this contextual background emerged the stirrings of Acadian nationalism in the last decades of the 19th century. This was particularly true in New Brunswick, the principal centre of Acadian life in the Atlantic provinces, and where, by 1911, Acadians made up 28 percent of the population. Acadian nationalism, which began as cultural demands, soon turned to economic claims with elite Acadians striving to find solutions to problems of poverty, social inequality, and the lower educational attainment among Francophones.

Contact Us Help Search Canada Site ... Development Nunavut September 2003 Creation of Nunavut On April 1, 1999, the map of Canada changed. The former Northwest Territories (NWT) was divided in two, creating a new territory called Nunavut. In the Inuit language, Inuktitut, the word "Nunavut" means "our land." The territory fulfils a long-time dream for Inuit of the Eastern Arctic. They govern a territory of about two million square kilometres, one fifth of Canada's total land mass. The Nunavut government is a public government, elected by all residents, Inuit and non-Inuit. But because Inuit make up the majority of the population, they can shape the government to reflect their culture, traditions and goals. The Government of Nunavut enables Inuit to assume their rightful place in Canada and take charge of their destiny. The largest land claim settlement in Canadian history The federal and territorial governments and Inuit in the Eastern Arctic talked about dividing the NWT for many years. In 1976, the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada (now known as the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami [ITK]) asked the federal government to map out a boundary between the eastern and western regions of the NWT. The ITK represents Inuit across Canada. It wanted the eastern region of the NWT to be the Nunavut Territory because of Inuit land claims in that area.

In 1993, the Inuit, the government of Canada and the government of the Northwest Territories signed the largest Aboriginal land claim agreement in Canadian history. At the same time, legislation was passed leading to the creation of a new territory of Nunavut on April 1,1999. The new territory will have a public government serving both Inuit and non-Inuit. Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI) was set up as a private corporation in 1993, to ensure that promises made in the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement are carried out. The negotiated land claims Agreement is based on and reflects objectives and clarifies the rights to ownership and use of land and resources, and of rights for Inuit to participate in decision-making concerning the use, management and conservation of land, water and resources, including the offshore. It also provides Inuit with wildlife harvesting rights and rights to participate in decision-making concerning wildlife harvesting. The Inuit are also provided with financial compensation and means of participating in economic opportunities. One of the last main objectives of this Agreement is to encourage self-reliance and the cultural and social well-being of Inuit. The word "Nunavut" means our land, while "Tunngavik" refers to a multi-layered organism or foundation. NTI represents the interests of over 21,000 Inuit, for whom the land claim agreement was settled.

Nunavut Communities, 1999 Resolute Bay, Nunavut The Creation of Nunavut... "Nunavut means "our Land" to me because we will own the Land, we will have to take care of it and watch over it. We will have a flag of our own. We will need more education to have good jobs. We will have more responsibilities. This will be our Inuit land so we will have to speak more Inuktitut. If there will be more Inuktitut classes we will need more Inuktitut teachers." -Jonah Angutiqkuaq, grade 8 "I think Nunavut makes us Inuks proud to have our own territory. " -Angela Idlout, grade 9 "Nunavut means a lot to me. It is our future home. It means that we will have more independence. More things to do. More opportunity. There will be more Inuktitut to learn, so we can get good jobs, so that will mean that you’d have to stay in school to have a good education if you want to have a good job to have a good career. We will have more responsibilities. There will be more things to take care of, more things to do. We will have to control Nunavut. If we don’t, a lot of things can go wrong. We’d have to take care of a lot of things like electricity, power, and all sorts of things. If you do something wrong, you will have to be responsible for it." -Naomie Pudluk, grade 8
