About the author

Susan Aglukark (ᓲᓴᓐ ᐊᒡᓘᒃᑲᖅ ) is an award-winning Inuit singer-songwriter known for blending the Inuktitut and English languages with contemporary pop music arrangements to tell the stories of her people. Born in Churchill, Manitoba in 1967, she was raised in Arviat, Nunavut (then Northwest Territories). She worked for a time as a linguist with the Department of Indian & Northern Affairs, and then returned to the Northwest Territories to work as an executive assistant with the non-profit Inuit Tapirisat of Canada. It was during this period that she began to sing, becoming a popular performer in Inuit communities, and eventually drawing the attention of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and eventually winning a deal with a major record label.

Aglukark's music has drawn upon painful subjects from her own life experience, from the suicide of her niece to her own experiences as a survivor of sexual abuse. She has honorary doctorates from several universities and has performed for many Canadian and international dignitaries. She is an Officer of the Order of Canada and was awarded the Governor General’s Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award in June 2016. She lives in Oakville, Ontario.
