in 1973 the inuit tapirisat of canada (itc) began research on inuit land use and occupancy in the arctic. three years later in 1976 the itc put forward the idea of creating a nunavut territory and the federal electoral boundaries commission that recommended dividing the northwest territories into two electoral districts: the western arctic (now the northwest territories) and nunatsiaq (now nunavut). the tunngavik federation of nunavut (tfn) negotiated the land claims agreement with the federal government in 1982. voting in the northwest territories determined the creation of nunavut with a passing vote of 56%. the tfn and representatives from the federal and territorial governments signed the land claims agreement-in-principle in 1990. in 1992 the tfn and federal negotiators agreed on the substantive portions of the nunavut land claims agreement. on may 25, 1993, paul quassa, then president of the tunngavik federation of nunavut and brian mulroney, then prime minister of canada and tom siddon, then minister of indian & northern affairs, signed the nunavut land claims agreement. on july 9, 1993 the nunavut land claims agreement and nunavut act were adopted by the parliament of canada and received royal assent. in 1998, amendments to the nunavut act were adopted by parliament and received royal assent. in 1999 on april 1, nunavut with an independent government became a reality.
