Before it was transferred to Canada from Great Britain, it was owned by the Hudson's Bay Company. What is the name of the territory that formerly contained lands in modern-day Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, Minnesota, and North Dakota?

Rupert's Land is a former territory consisting of lands in modern-day Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec, Minnesota, North Dakota, and very small sections of Montana and South Dakota. The Hudson's Bay Company was granted ownership of this territory by the British in 1670. In 1870, the land was given to Canada after a payment of £300,000, and it was combined with the North-Western Territory to become the North-West Territories.
