What percentage of Nunavut's population is Inuit?

  1. 55%

  2. 65%

  3. 75%

  4. 85%

The correct answer is: 85%

Option A (55%) This is not the correct answer because it is lower than the actual percentage, which is 85%. This may be a common misconception due to the large geographic size of Nunavut and the relatively small population of Inuit people compared to the non-Inuit population. Option B (65%): This is not the correct answer because it is also lower than the actual percentage of 85%. While 65% may seem like a high percentage, it still underestimates the significant presence and contributions of Inuit people in Nunavut. Option C (75%): This is not the correct answer because it is still lower than the actual percentage of 85%. While 75% may seem like a high percentage, it falls short of representing the overall majority of Inuit people in Nunavut. Option D (85%): This is the correct answer. According to the 2016 census, 84.7% of Nunavut's population identifies as Inuit, making them the majority ethnic group in the territory. This statistic highlights the cultural and social significance of Inuit people in Nunavut, and their contributions to the unique identity and traditions of the region.
