Nunavut celeb hits national airwaves

The Aboriginal People’s Television Network will launch the seventh season of APTN National News: Contact on Oct. 7 with a brand new host.

Madeleine Allakariallak recently moved from Iqaluit to Winnipeg to take over the show.

Originally from Resolute Bay, Allakariallak was previously a producer with CBC North, as well as the host of Qulliq, an Inuktitut and English morning show featuring news and current affairs.

Allakariallak is also an accomplished throatsinger and mother of three. This spring, she was selected as one of Nunavut’s Top 10 Under 35 in Nunatsiaq News.
