First Nations' Words used in English
Okay, I was just looking around when suddenly I saw that, in my discussion list there was a message by JM. Bridgeman, who is Contributing Editor for Canadian History & Culture, saying that my article on French Canadian Words had been read. JM Bridgeman decided to drop a line.

A Look at the Provinces,Part XII:Northwest Territories & Nunavut
This is the twelfth and last article in the series. Since I've already written an article on Nunavut and it is hard to find information for the NWT and Nunavut separately I will combine them. The Former North West Territories is made up of the North West Territories and of Nunavut. It is made up of most of the artic, except Yukon and Alaska (and Greenland) and includes all islands in the Hudson's Bay. It has an area of 3,426,320 square kilometres and has a population of 57,649 people. The Capital was Yellownife and remains so for the NWT. Nunavut's Capital is Iqualuit (formerly known as Forbisher Bay). It joined confederation when bought by the Canadian government in 1870.
