 | | Nunavut (Inuktitut syllabics: ᓄᓇᕗᑦ, The word "Nunavut" in Inuktitut) is the largest and newest of the territories of Canada: it was separated officially from the vast Northwest Territories on April 1, 1999 via the Nunavut Act and the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement Act, though the actual boundaries were established in 1993. |
 | | Nunavut's small and sparse population makes it unlikely the territory will be granted provincial status in the foreseeable future, although this may change if the Yukon, which is only marginally more populous, becomes a province. |
 | | Nunavut's vegetation is partially composed of rare berries, lichens, arctic willows, moss, tough grass, and small willow shrubs. |
