| Reverse description | The Coat of Arms for Nunavut is Canada’s youngest Arms granted to its youngest territory by Governor General Roméo LeBlanc in 1999. It was created by Inuit artist Andrew Qappik in partnership with the Canadian Heraldic Authority and the elders and leaders of Nunavut to create a distinct blend of ancient Inuit symbolism and European heraldic tradition. Resting upon the shield is an iglu which was essential to survival and represents the traditional way of Inuit life and the modern gathering of legislative members. The territory’s status in Confederation is symbolized by the Royal Crown above. Holding the shield are a tuktu (caribou) and quilalugaq tuugaalik (narwhal), important wildlife that sustain the people. The motto is written in Inuktitut, which reads “Nunavut Sanginivut” (Nunavut our strength). |
