  • Summary

  • In this episode, we step back in time with the Canadian Time Machine podcast to explore the past, present, and future of Canada’s youngest territory—Nunavut. At just 25 years old, Nunavut is still finding its footing, but it’s come a long way since its historic creation on April 1, 1999. Historian Kenn Harper, known to Nunavummiut as Ilisaijikutaaq (the tall teacher), shares stories from his time learning Inuktitut and documenting Inuit culture, including insights from his new book on the Fifth Thule Expedition. Then, Premier P.J. Akeeagok reflects on Nunavut’s journey—its triumphs, its growing pains, and the work still ahead. He discusses the significance of a recent land transfer agreement that grants Nunavut full control over its lands—a major milestone toward self-determination.
