What does Nunavut mean in Inuktitut?

  1. Our land

  2. Northern place

  3. Ice land

  4. Home of the people

The correct answer is: Our land

The other options may seem appealing because they all relate to Nunavut in some way. However, the correct answer is A because Nunavut literally means "our land" in Inuktitut. Option B is incorrect because while Nunavut is a northern place, that is not its literal translation in Inuktitut. Option C is also incorrect because while Nunavut does have a lot of ice, that is not the meaning behind its name. Option D may seem like a possible translation, but it is not the most accurate one.
