What does 'Nunavut' mean in Inuktitut?

  1. New Land

  2. Northern Territory

  3. Our Land

  4. Home Land

The correct answer is: Our Land

Nunavut, in Inuktitut language, means 'Our Land'. While the other options may seem to be correct translations of the name, they do not accurately reflect the cultural and historical significance of the term. 'New Land' could be interpreted as an area that was recently discovered or created, rather than one that has been home to Inuit peoples for centuries. 'Northern Territory' and 'Home Land' are closer translations, but still not quite as evocative as 'Our Land', which signifies a sense of ownership and connection to the land for the Inuit people. Therefore, if we are looking for the most accurate translation of 'Nunavut' in Inuktitut, the correct answer is C.
