Let me begin with terminology. Reflecting current Inuit usage, the name used for the entire area of lands and waters that make up the four Inuit homelands across the circumpolar Arctic, stretching from Chukotka to Greenland, is Inuit Nunaat, and the name used to describe the Inuit homeland within Arctic Canada is Inuit Nunangat. In order to consider the first half of the challenge posed by the title of this article -- how Canadian Inuit have come to be where we are today -- we must consider some geography and some history. The Arctic is roughly one-third of Canada's land and marine mass, with 50 percent of Canada's shoreline. It is the homeland of Canada's Inuit. We are some 55,000 in number, approximately one-third of the total Inuit population living around the circumpolar world, in Chukotka, Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, and Canada. There are 53 Inuit communities in Arctic Canada, numbering from a few hundred to more than 5000 inhabitants. Inuit are the solid majority of the permanent population in the Canadian Arctic as a whole. We are also a clear majority in all permanent communities, with the exception of Inuvik and Iqaluit. Inuit are also becoming more numerous in some southern cities, such as Ottawa, Montreal, Winnipeg, and Edmonton. Adapted from the source document.
