Police investigate woman's death Naujaat woman was visiting community when she was killed, friends say

The communities of Rankin Inlet and Naujaat are in shock and mourning following reports of a brutal slaying in Rankin late in the evening April 26.

Dead is Lynnora Siusangnark, 33, of Naujaat, whose body was reportedly found in Rankin's Itivia area.

Friends of the deceased informed Kivalliq News that Siusangnark had been on her way home to Naujaat after accompanying a patient to Winnipeg as a medical escort, when she decided to spend a few nights in Rankin Inlet before continuing home.

No arrests have been made,

RCMP stated Monday. The Major Crimes Unit and Nunavut's Chief Coroner's Office are investigating the sudden death. An autopsy will be performed.

Siusangnark, known for her own efforts with Inuit dolls, is the daughter of well-known Naujaat artisans Noah and Mikki Siusangnark, whose works have been featured in art displays and feature articles in many parts of Canada.

Noah was out on the land when the family received word of Lynnora's death April 27, and they had to send people out on the land to find him, bring him back to the community and break the horrific news to him.

Territorial competition still popular among Arviat students

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Arviat

Participating in the annual Skills Canada Nunavut competition remains popular among students at John Arnalukjuak High School (JAHS) in Arviat. This year saw seven female students travel to Iqaluit to compete in six categories on April 27 and 28.

Making the trip from JAHS were Chasity St. John and Katy Suluk (video production), Meagan Tassiuk (prepared speech), Mallory Okatsiak (hairstyling), Annie Kritaqliluk (job demonstration), Abbey-Rose Katsuak (traditional sewing) and Natalie Baker (aesthetics (cosmetology)).

Gord Billard chaperoned the Arviat students with support from two female teachers at Inuglak School in Whale Cove, who had a number of their students cancel out at the last minute.

Billard said he only managed to work a little with the video-production team of St. John and Suluk before the competition.

"It's different for me this year because I'm a learning coach and not teaching regularly in the classroom anymore, so I haven't been teaching my normal audio/ video (AV) class," said Billard.

"I put a lot of faith in the natural abilities of two very bright Grade 9 students who are smart, creative, articulate, and not afraid to speak in front of the camera or ask questions."

Billard said he was fortunate to be able to stay in contact with St. John and Suluk after a teacher left Arviat on very short notice.

He said that led to him having to take over the Grade 9A English class, which the two video-production students attend.

John Arnalukjuak High School student Abbey-Rose Katsuak of Arviat works on a sealskin vest as she prepares to compete in the Traditional Sewing category of Skills Canada Nunavut in Iqaluit on April 27 and 28.

"When Chasity and Katy answered my call for the video-production category, we started training right away, and they got their first video done in time to submit to the judges in Iqaluit two weeks before the competition actually started.

"They shot a video of Chasity in conversation with her mother that encourages parents to encourage their kids to look for a career in the skill trades.

"We researched five of the top rea-

sons why parents should do that, and we worked them into the chat between Chasity and her mother to make up the bulk of a video that I found pretty good."

Video-production participants have no idea what type of video they'll be asked to create in Iqaluit.

So, they have to be familiar with a number of genres, such as promotional, instructional and commercial videos, as well as short films.

Students peer into Baker Lake's past Former principal reflects on concept of time capsule

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Baker Lake

A dedicated group of students who restarted the student council at Jonah Amitnaaq Secondary School (JASS) jumped at the chance to oversee the opening of a 10-yearold time capsule in Baker Lake on April 10.

The council – president Rachel Tagoona-Tapatai, vice-president Janette Seeteenak, treasurer Brianna Piryuaq, secretary Haley Hachey, communications Kimberly Ukpatiku, snacks Gavin Dunn and regular members Ashley Pudnak, Rhoda Parker, Richard Iyago, Terrianna Uqayuittuq and Rick Aningaaq – took on a number of projects during the school year, including taking part in the annual Christmas Talent Show and school spirit days, as well as hosting a semi-formal Valentine's Day dance.

Ukpatiku stated in a press release that council members were planning a string of activities to celebrate Nunavut's 20th anniversary when they realized a time capsule sitting in the principal's office for the past 10 years was meant to be opened in 2019.

"When the council members found out the time capsule that had been sitting in the office for the past 10 years was scheduled to be opened, they jumped at the opportunity to plan and host the event," stated Ukpatiku.

"In 2009, the JASS graduating class entrusted the time capsule to the Grade 2 class to be opened in

their last year of school in April of 2019!"

Among the many people to take part in the special event was superintendent of schools for Kivalliq School Operations Bill Cooper, who was principal of JASS in 2009.

Cooper said opening the capsule brought back a lot of very fond memories of being part of the school in 2009.

He said everyone took turns looking at the capsule's contents and bringing out different elements to the oohs and ahs of the crowd watching the events unfold.

"I felt really honoured to be a part of it, quite frankly," said Cooper.

"I really had no idea what was in there, and the first thing we pulled out was a pair of rubber boots that belonged to a teacher who is still at the school.

"Opening the time capsule was almost like Christmas, because, although you may have a hunch, you really don't know what's in there.

"Student council laid everything out, then everyone crowded around to look at it, got their phones out to take pictures of themselves with their work, and told stories about back then."

Cooper said one moment was quite touching during the capsule opening.

He said Sally Seeteenak retired this past year after many, many years of teaching and, 10 years ago, she taught Grade 2.

"A few of those Grade 2 students are now in Grade 12 and were on stage as part of student council,

which is pretty spectacular – and, wouldn't you know, one of the last things we pulled from the bottom was an envelope her class had done of little reflections and pictures.

"We called Sally to the stage, she pulled some papers out and read a few of them for the group.

"Two of her former Grade 2 students were there and she was able to give them, 10 years later, their pieces, which they read over the microphone to the assembled crowd.

"That is so special and I heard a number of people were really touched by it."

Cooper said he perceived giddiness and amazement on some of the student faces as the evening unfolded, but he would be speculating if he said there was also a sense of accomplishment or purpose evident.

He said he also perceived a sense of wonder as he watched the kids looking at their own work.

"I'd like to think it put some things in perspective – 10 years have passed, here we are and, in a sense, the journey is not over because I understand the school intends to take in another round of memorabilia to encase for another 10 years.

"And, if I'm not mistaken, they intend to kind of use it as another graduation thing; inviting the current Grade 2 students to be part of it to keep that element in and then open it up in the year 2029.

"I had a part in a collective effort to set this up in 2009 – and kudos to all the other administrators who followed and the teachers who didn't

around something really important.

"Among the personal stories that come out of that; some are good, some are troubling, some are wonderful and some are sad, but isn't that our journey when you come right down to it?"

Just ask the parents and board members who are okay with O Canada being sung by students every morning, as long as they sing it in Inuktitut, French and English.

Our national anthem is a tool of patriotism in saluting our country and a bridge to the nation we all want it to eventually become – reconciling for past wrongdoings and moving forward together on equal ground as one group of Canadians above all else.

In fact, it's more than a little cool that the most recent locale to defend the national anthem's place in our schools is in the true North strong and free.

It's still a long road to where we want to eventually be, but I still truly believe we can get there working together for the benefit of all Canadians under one flag and moving forward to the same song.

A familiar refrain on the path of togetherness as proud Canadians.

Food for thought.

Memories from the Maritimes Northern News Services

The Kivalliq Canucks came up just short of the final game at the Maritime-Hockey North Junior C Championship in Woodstock, NB, on March 30.

The Canucks finished second in round-robin action with a 3-1 record, before losing their semifinal against the host Western Valley Panthers by a score of 5-1.

Goalie Connor Faulkner was named the MVP of the tournament, which was the last for longtime Canucks head coach Donald Clark and assistant Steve Faulkner of Rankin Inlet.

Rankin Inlet/Iqaluit

Bolstered with seven players from the Kivalliq region, Team Canadrill defeated a combined Rankin-Ottawa squad 4-3 in the final game to claim the 2019 Toonik Time Cup senior men's hockey championship in Iqaluit on April 14.

Representing the Kivalliq on Team Canadrill were Keith (Butchy) Sigurdson, Roger Tagoona, Wendel Kaludjak, David Clark, Pujjuut Kusugak

and Qaritaq Kusugak-Clark of Rankin Inlet and Roy (Hollywood) Kopak of Naujaat. Cody Dean of Iqaluit, is also originally from Rankin.

Pujjuut said most of the core players on the team returned this year for Canadrill's third straight championship at the event.

He said it was nice to pickup a couple of younger players this tournament, especially since the Canadrill team only had one true defenceman in Kopak.

"We made some adjust-

ments along the way and things worked-out for us this time," said Pujjuut.

"The final game was a really hard-fought one, with the Rankin-Ottawa goalie playing amazing between the pipes.

"They put on a real push in the final two minutes, which made the final even more exciting for the fans.

"So, for two years in a row now, we've been in a wicked final game in Iqaluit."

The Rankin-Ottawa team struggled a bit finding their game during the round robin,

but came together at the right time to beat a young Iqaluit team on their way to the finals, while Canadrill took out Iqaluit's QC Avalanche to reach the championship game.

Pujjuut said all in all, the Toonik Tyme Cup was a good weekend of hockey.

He said the overall level of competition dropped just a bit in the past two years, due to teams not being able to make it to Iqaluit.

"There wasn't one team from Northern Quebec this year, which made things feel

a lot different because there's usually at least two at the event.

"Also, in other years, Rankin brought a full team and the combined Naujaat-Arviat team was here. Bake Lake was even here in the B Division this past year, so those teams were missed.

"The cost of travel has a lot to do with it, and, also, the lack of fundraising efforts in some communities is another reason some teams don't make it every year."

Pujjuut said the number of regional tournaments now being played makes teams from some communities have to choose which ones they're going to attend.

He said in the Kivalliq, no community would risk missing the Terence Tootoo Memorial (TTM) tourney in Rankin Inlet by using all their resources to attend an event in another community.

He said, in his opinion,

the TTM is the biggest senior men's hockey tournament in Nunavut right now.

"The TTM is something else and a tough tournament to beat.

"It was made even more special this year by Jordin (Tootoo) coming home to play in it and the fact it was the last major tournament to be played in Rankin at the old barn."

Pujjuut said he'd love to see Canadrill keep its core players together, at least until their winning streak at Toonik Tyme is snapped.

He said there are special memories to be taken from every championship run.

"This one was really special for David Clark and myself, because my son, Qaritaq, got to play with us in it. It was really nice to have him home and win this tournament with him.

"It was a great weekend together that I'll remember for a very long time."

Kids, eggs and a magic bunny

Rankin Inlet

Hundreds of kids braved chilly temperatures to take to the snow and ice on Williamson Lake to search for hidden treats during the third annual Easter Eggstravaganza in Rankin Inlet on April 20.

The event is sponsored, organized and run by members of the Rankin Inlet Fire Rescue EMS. The hunt for the hidden Easter treats got underway at 11:30 a.m. for three groups of kids aged one to four, five to seven and eight to 13.

The gathering also had a bonfire and plenty of free hot dogs, cookies and hot

chocolate for the kids, parents and grandparents to enjoy at the event.

Rankin Fire Chief Mark Wyatt started the Eggstravaganza in 2017 and said the event has grown a little each year.

He said the only downside to the event has been Mother Nature's chilly temperatures every single year.

"I thought the weather would be much warmer this year, but the temperature hit -30C with the windchill on the ice once again," said Wyatt.

"We added more candy and had more people come out anyway, despite the cold.

"This year the Northern store bakedup lots of homemade cookies and did some jelly rolls for us, which was really nice.

"Next year, if Easter is in March again, we may explore the idea of holding it inside because our new arena is large enough to host a pretty big egg hunt if we decide to try something like that."

While the cold weather doesn't manage to dampen the kids' enthusiasm for finding the Easter eggs, it does manage to cut the event a little short and lessen its social aspect somewhat.

Wyatt said people start showing up between 11 and 11:30 a.m. and they have a big crowd of people to start the event but, by noon, the Easter egg hunt is over and most people are gone.

He said if it was warmer out, more people would probably hang around and socialize a bit more.
