New Article on Canada's Newest Territory
'''Nunavut''' is the largest and newest territory in [[Canada]]. It was separated from the [[Northwest Territories]] on April 1, 1999. It was the first major change to the Canadian map since [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] joined the confederation in 1949.
Nunavut has the lowest population of all Canadian Provinces and Territories and the capital is Iqaluit (formerly "Frobisher Bay") on [[Baffin Island]], which in the east of the Territory. The population of the entire territory is only 30,000 (approximately) of whom 85% are native peoples. The territory covers nearly 1.9 million km<sup>2</sup> of land and water, including all of the islands in [[Hudson Bay]], [[James Bay]] and a section of mainland, north of [[Manitoba]] and east of the [[Northwest Territories]]. Much of the land is on the Canadian Shield, a bedrock formation with only thin soil lying on top, and in many places no soil at all.
