Nunavut is actually not a Canadian province; it is one of three (along with the Northwest Territories and Yukon) official territories of Canada. It used to be a part of the Northwest Territories, until April 1, 1999, when Nunavut was officially created through the Nuvavut Act and the Nuvavut Land Claims Agreement Act, which were passed by the Canadian Parliament after being ratified by 85 percent of the voters in Nuvavut, many of whom are Inuit.
