Our People

The population of Nunavut is scattered over the largest of Canada's territories. Its 26 000 inhabitants live in 28 communities spread out over an area of 2 million square kilometres, or roughly one person per 100 square kilometres. The Inuit have occupied the region for thousands of years and form almost 85 percent of the current population.

Nunavut's society is the youngest in Canada, with half the population under 21. The territory's students were thus invited to participate in this module by telling us about their community and their hopes for the future.
