Way to go, Johnny! All the Welch Family very proud of your achievements!
Wow! How did Johnny Issaluk get there? I mean, just look at the people beside Johnny who went great strengths to be a member of a prestigious organization. What was the achievement? How did he earned the hard to get certificate? Did the society welcome him just because he is a Inuk poster boy? I highly regarded the society until now. And I am an Inuk too, but I certainly would want to earn the highly coveted membership.
