Vastu in The Northwest Territories (TNT):

The Northwest Territories, the coldest place in Canada. Less population and residents do not have any knowledge of Vastu. Only very few NRI's were working in TNT and some of them only knows about vastu shastra. The local resident does not have sound idea on this Vaastu subject.

Can be found more water bodies in The Northwest Territories than other areas, so best to choose the home without having a water body at Southwest direction.

The Northwest Territories {TNT} Overview:

The Northwest Territories is the federal territory of Canada and second largest in terms of covered area among the three territories of Canada. The territory is known for its distant landscapes, beautiful valleys, lakes, mountains, forests and National reserves.

The territory is also one of the sparsely populated and is protected from human activities and inhabitation. The territory is one of the best places in North America to visit and explore having countless features and breathtaking views. The territory has only one city known as “Yellowstone” which also serves as the capital.

Native tribes of “Inuit” and “First Peoples” have inhabited the regions of what is now Northwestern Territories for hundreds or thousands of years. An accurate history of their arrival or settlements is not well known.

The recorded history of the region is only available from the times of European arrival. Martin Frobisher was the first European (British) to arrive in the region. At the time of his arrival, Native tribes of Yellow-Knife, Chipewyan, Sekani, etc. were present in the region.

Later on, many other famous explorers visited or explored the region. Subsequently, the region was acquired by the Hudson’s Bay Company from the British crown for fur trading and other purposes. The region remained the property of the company until it was finally acquired by the Canadian government.

The Northwest Territories is bordered by the Canadian Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan towards the South, British Columbia towards the South West, and other two territories of Nunavut towards the East and Yukon towards the West.
