I am Inuvialuk (Inuit) from the Inuvialuit Settlement Region of the Western Arctic – my hometown is Tuktoyaktuk, NT. I have been creating traditional garments using furs and hides for 33 years. I was taught by my grandmother and my mother-in-law. I am passionate about my culture and traditions and I share my learnings with those who are willing to learn. I have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren.
