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.
