Nunavut is not a new land. It is an old Inuit homeland with a new territorial government. Tuniit worlds and Thule migration lead into seasonal life, whalers, trade posts, explorers, Inuit knowledge, relocations, schools, art, radio, land claims, the creation of Nunavut in 1999, and a warming, strategic Arctic. Land, language, animals, family, and government remain inseparable.
