Summary

Canada's Arctic Regions are the homeland of aboriginal people who have a deep connection to the land. They traditionally relied on natural resources for their needs. In the western Arctic, the Inuvialuit are descentants of the Thule people who came here over 1,000 years ago. The Arctic region includes the Innuitian Mountains, the Arctic Lowlands and the Hudson Bay lowlands. Most of the land here is permanently frozen with little vegetation. Today, rising global temperatures are leading to some melting of the permafrost. This has an impact on structures such as buildings and pipelines as the ground shifts. Many tourists come north to see polar bears, or to watch the awesome northern lights
