January 8th, 2002 Canada's north is a harsh landscape, often frigid and barren. However, one finds patches of life in this inhospitable place: a small flower, blades of grass, the splash of a seal, the cry of a bird. Each is a testament of life's ability to sustain itself and even flourish in the severest conditions. The story of Canada's Inuit people reflects this northern landscape. It is a tale of harsh conditions, of striving to live in one of the toughest climates in the world, and of undergoing massive social, economic and cultural changes. But it's also a tale about a desire to sustain a way of life while adapting to a changing world. The Nunavut territory is a new chapter in the Inuit story. It marks the end of years of Inuit struggle for recognition of their unique existence and the power to protect it. It also marks the beginning of a new struggle to overcome the social and economic problems facing the Inuit in the 21st century.

Nunavut, Canada
Dateline: 09/14/98 Despite the fact that only thirteen percent of Canadians are aware of its existence, Canada is gaining a new territory on April 1, 1999. This new territory, called Nunavut, will occupy the eastern part of Canada's Northwest Territories ( map Nunavut, which means "our land" in the Inuit language, will be the first self-governing indigenous territory in North America. On April 1, a 19-member legislative council begins governance of this territory. Nunavut covers one-fifth of Canada's land area but at 22,000 people, includes less than one percent of its population. Eighty-five percent of Nunavut's residents are indigenous Inuit. The new capital city of Iqaluit (Nunavut's largest city with a population of 4,000) lies less than three degrees south of the Arctic Circle. In June it receives twenty-four hours of daylight and in December receives only six hours of daylight. Iqaluit is one of twenty-eight settlements in Nunavut.

Thule Archeological Sites
The Thule people migrated east from Alaska around 1,000 AD, following the Bowhead whale. The Thule culture is characterized by large permanent winter camps built of rocks, sod and whalebone. Caches of whalemeat prepared in the summer provided the Thule with food for the winter months. Today's Inuit are the direct descendents of the Thule. There are three different Thule ancestral sites near Hall Beach:
  • Ugli Island Qinniqturvik Nappaqut
where you can see:
  • tent rings food caches Qarmait (sod houses) semi-subterranean houses
These sites were inhabited between 300 and 900 years ago.

Government Nunavut: History and People History Nunavut has been occupied continuously for more than 4,000 years. Historians have identified the Baffin coast with Norse sagas, however recorded history began in 1576 when Martin Frobisher, on an expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage, discovered what he thought was gold on Baffin Island. The ore was worthless and Frobisher's encounters with the Inuit were not friendly. He seized four Inuit in 1576 and 1577 and took them to England where they quickly died. In 1585, John Davis, also in search of the Northwest Passage, explored Cumberland Sound. Henry Hudson followed in 1610. The Arctic Islands were transferred from Britain to Canada in 1880. In 1903 an official expedition visited the High Arctic and Cumberland Sound exerting Canadian sovereignty. Between 1906 and 1911 the Canadian government dispatched three official voyages to the High Arctic, to show the flag and collect Customs duties from whalers. The Second World War and the Cold War opened the Canadian Arctic. The United States Air Force built an airfield at Frobisher Bay, now Iqaluit, to handle aircraft transporting war materials to Europe. In 1955 construction began on the Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line, a joint project of Canada and the United States to create an early-warning radar chain to warn of any Soviet incursions.

    http://www.nunavuttourism.com/ADV/ADV2a.htm
    Canada added a new chapter to its fascinating history when, on April 1, 1999, Nunavut became it's largest and newest territory. Formed out of the eastern part of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut is the result of more than 20 years of negotiations and planning by the Inuit of the Eastern and Central Arctic. As the people of Nunavut look to their future as Canada's newest territory, they carry with them a long and proud past. It is a past that chronicles two histories and the meeting and merging of two worlds. Nunavut's first history is that of the Inuit and their ancient ancestors who first migrated to the Arctic some 5000 years ago. This history is captured in stories, songs and traditions, passed on verbally through countless generations and only recently recorded in print and other media. The second is the history that the Inuit share with the qabllunaaq (people of European origin) – the explorers who came in search of the Northwest Passage and the whalers and traders who came in search of wealth and adventure. The Inuit were of great assistance to these newcomers; guiding them, hunting for them, sharing resources and showing them the Inuit way to help them survive in a rugged and harsh land to forge a shared history that is the essence of all that is Nunavut. Immerse yourself in the history of this land with the help of an Inuit guide, whether it's tales of ancestors who risked their lives in small skin boats hunting whale in ice packed waters, accounts of the
