: : As promised here is another link for Nunavut. The festivities started
: : last night with fireworks in Iqualuit( formerly Frobisher Bay), the new capital of Nunavut. The Premier of Nunavut, Paul Okalik,is the perfect choice to lead his people.He can relate to them in every way as he experienced many hardships. Among them were: numerous suicides in his family,alcoholism etc. BUT- he was strong enough to turn his life around, finish his education and became the first Inuk lawyer...
