The Canadian government began establishing a more permanent authority in 1895, when it named the Yukon one of four new districts within the Northwest Territories. The government also recognized the Yukon's special status within the Territories, sending Inspector Charles Constantine of the NWMP as the government's primary agent in the district. Still the region was still officially governed from Regina, the territorial capital.

∙ 12y agoNunavut did not "join" Confederation. Most of the land had been transferred from Britain to Canada on July 15, 1870.
As a result of the largest aboriginal land claims agreement, Nunavut was created out of Northwest Territories by the federal government as a homeland for Inuit peoples.
