Former Nunavut MLA Peter Kattuk passes on
Peter Kattuk of Sanikiluaq, who served as Nunavut’s MLA for Hudson Bay from 1999 to 2008, has passed on at the age of 69, following a long illness. “Peter was well-respected for his commitment to public service and his environmental advocacy,” said Speaker Simeon Mikkungwak in a statement. Kono Tattuinee, the president of Arctic Co-operatives Ltd., remembered Kattuk as “quite an extraordinary kind of guy,” who took him to his trolling grounds and introduced him to sea urchins, a local delicacy in the Belcher Islands. Kattuk, also a former mayor of Sanikiluaq, was involved with the 1998 Voices from the Bay, one of the first surveys in Nunavut to combine traditional ecological knowledge and science. This photo, showing Kattuk in the Nunavut legislature, dates from the early 2000s. (Photo by Jane George)
