May Goola Nakashuk rest in peace

The capital of Nunavut, lost a hunter well-respected to the city, and well known for his hunting skills. On about Oct. 29,2004, Goola Nakashook passed away while fighting cancer for some time.

He leaves behind his ex-wife, with children, and his wife Paniloo. He loved hunting. It was his way of life. He grew up at an outpost camp, where he learned his hunting skills. Every summer in Iqaluit he would go to his outpost camp, and return in the winter.

From there he started to teach our younger generation how to hunt at any time of the year. He was a good hunter, and he would donate meat to the elders, and to the community.

I would like to send my condolences to the following families: Meetuq Nowdlak’s family, Geosa Uniusaraq’s family, his ex-wife and kids, Goola’s grandchildren, the Tikivik family, the Atagooyuk family, and to the following people: Noah, Jonah, Ooleepeeka, Elisapee, Mosesee, Leetia, his family in Pang, and also to many others who I did not mention. May he rest in peace.
