The shape-shifting territory
The original Northwest Territories
was a vast tract that Canada acquired from the Hudson's Bay Company
in 1870. It grew to include the Arctic islands in 1880, then shrank
through the creation of the Yukon and the Prairie Provinces and the
expansion of Ontario and Quebec. In 1999, the remainder was split in
two, with Nunavut in the east and the new Northwest Territories in the
west.
