Why does the Nunavut-NWT border divide so many tiny islands?

An island that is considerably smaller than PEI is located half in the Northwest Territories, and half in Nunavut. Who on earth drew up this border? Call me OCD, but it bothers me every time I look at a map. And it's not just one tiny island that's inexplicably divided, it's a whole bunch of them. Utter nonsense.
