Some relevant background regarding "self-determination": The taxpayers of Canada will this year alone give the government of Nunavut $42,055.00 for each of its residents (source at link below).  These funds are not given to Nunavut pursuant to any treaty.  They comprise what the federal government calls the "major transfers":  "Canada Health Transfer",  "Canada Social Transfer" and "Territorial Formula Financing".  By comparison, the highest per capita payment to a province is to PEI ($3,981.00 this year).   Put another way, the government of Nunavut receives over 10 times the per capita annual funding from federal taxpayers than any province.
