Nunavut is created

A territory in Canada is an area with its own government, but with less autonomy than a province. Nunavut is not a reserve but a full territory with public government — authority rests with all residents rather than an ethnically defined group, and functions in practice as Inuit self-government because they are around 85 per cent of the population. The 1993 agreement followed twenty years of negotiation. The territory faces severe social conditions, and its creation settled a question of sovereignty without settling the consequences of forced relocations and the residential schools.
