Largest and most northern Canadian territory

Answer:

NUNAVUT

Hint:

This territory was established in 1999 and is home to a predominantly Inuit population, covering a vast Arctic landscape.

Explanation:

This clue is a straightforward definition pointing to Nunavut, which is Canada’s biggest territory by land area and sits farthest north. It was officially established in 1999 after being separated from the Northwest Territories, making it the newest addition to Canada’s map. The name "Nunavut" comes from the Inuktitut word for "our land," reflecting its large Inuit population and cultural heritage. No wordplay here—just a direct geographic fact.
