the inuit
In Canada, the Inuit people are referred to simply as "Inuit," which means "the people" in their language, Inuktitut. They are one of the three main Indigenous groups recognized in Canada, alongside First Nations and Métis. The term "Eskimo" is considered outdated and potentially offensive, so "Inuit" is the preferred and respectful terminology. The Inuit primarily inhabit the northern regions of Canada, especially in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and parts of Quebec and Labrador.

On April 1, 1999, Nunavut was established as a territory in Canada, providing a significant land area for the Inuit, the indigenous people of the region. Nunavut encompasses much of the Canadian Arctic and is characterized by its vast landscapes and low population density. The creation of Nunavut was a landmark achievement in indigenous self-governance and aimed to give the Inuit greater control over their land and resources.
