Tuktut Nogait National Park

Tuktut Nogait National Park (established in 1998, 18 181 km2) was created through the efforts of the Inuit of Paulatuk, NWT. They wanted a national park to help protect the calving grounds of the Bluenose herd of barren-ground caribou, a game animal essential to their way of life. The agreement to establish the park in the Inuvialuit Settlement Area was signed in 1996, and the park's formal establishment occurred 2 years later. In 2005, Tuktut Nogait was expanded southward with the addition of a small portion in the Sahtu Settlement Area. When Nunavut was created in 1999, the national park's eastern boundary was incorporated into the NWT/Nunavut border. Most of its northern boundary runs parallel to the Amundsen Gulf, which lies 20 km to the north. The name Tuktut Nogait means "caribou calves" in Inuvialuktun.

Tundra

Tundra, which comes from a Sami word meaning “barren land,” refers to a treeless arctic region characterized by permafrost. Canada’s tundra is known for its freezing temperatures, lack of trees, low-growing vegetation and abundant rock outcrops. The southern boundary of tundra in Canada extends from the Mackenzie River delta to the southern reaches of Hudson Bay and northeast to the Labrador Peninsula. The term “alpine tundra” is often used to describe any area above the treeline in mountainous areas. But “alpine tundra” and “arctic tundra” are not interchangeable. While the two regions share some similarities, the differences are significant.
