What does Nunavut mean in the Inuit language?

Cold land
Northern lights
Our home
Our land

The correct answer is: Our land

Nunavut means "our land" in the Inuit language. This name was chosen for the Canadian territory because it represents the strong connection and ownership that the Inuit people have for their land. Option A, "cold land", is not incorrect as Nunavut does have a cold climate, but it is not the literal translation of the word. Option B, "northern lights", and Option C, "our home", are both poetic or symbolic interpretations of the word, but they are not the direct translation. It is also worth noting that the name Nunavut was chosen through a public vote and was intended to reflect Inuit culture and values, rather than just the literal meaning.
