“But I don’t create for people who need to learn; I create for my own community. I’m thrilled that younger generations of Inuit will be able to see themselves represented in their own country.” Nappaaluk was born in 1931 near Kangiqsujujuaq in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec and was raised with traditional Inuit teachings.
While Nappaaluk never attended school, she was devoted to education and had a strong sense of obligation to younger generations of Inuit, Dunning said.
