To celebrate Nunavut Day, Nunatsiaq News invited readers to share what they believe makes their part of the territory special.
We published their submissions under the series name, “My Corner of Our Land.”
Links to all of the articles are provided here so readers can browse through them over the holiday weekend.
All the writers’ names will be put into a draw for three gift cards. The results of the draw will be announced next week.
