Elisapie, Deantha Edmunds receive awards at Vancouver gala Saturday
It was a successful weekend for two Inuit women at the Juno Awards – the annual celebration of music presented by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
“You will experience hardship in life, that’s manilaaksiuniq, or rough ice,” said Isaruit Arts elder consultant Asenath Kannutaq. She lit the qulliq to start the second day of the Creators’ Conference in Ottawa. She spoke with attendees about being on the ice with her father in Sanirajak, maintaining a qamutiik, navigating blizzards, and giving her pualuuk, or mittens, to her mother to keep her hands warm.

Author Kathleen Lippa reads from her new book, “Arctic Predator: The Crimes of Edward Horne Against Children in Canada’s North,” during a book launch Tuesday evening in an Ottawa bookstore. Lippa, who worked as a journalist in Iqaluit in the early 2000s, learned about Horne’s crimes and wrote the book because she said Canadians needed to learn more about their “Arctic brothers and sisters.” Horne was a school teacher and principal in several Nunavut communities during the 1970s until the mid-1980s.
