No foul play in woman's death: RCMP

by Derek Neary

Northern News Services

Rankin Inlet

Following an autopsy, foul play has been ruled out in the death of 33-year-old Naujaat woman, whose body was found in Rankin Inlet on April 26, RCMP stated in a news release issued May 10.

Out of respect for the family, the Mounties will not be releasing further details

about the woman's passing.

The woman has been identified to Kivalliq News as Lynnora Siusangnark.

Friends of the deceased informed Kivalliq News that the woman was 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.

RCMP have ruled out foul play after a woman's death in Rankin Inlet on April 26.

Rankin Inlet

Knowing what to do during the few short moments of a medical emergency can be the difference between life and death, especially when an infant is involved, said Rankin Inlet Fire Chief Mark Wyatt, who will be conducting an infant CPR course in Rankin during the upcoming month.

This will mark the third time during the past two years the fire department has held the infant CPR course, which is aimed primarily at new parents and those who care for children on a regular basis, such as babysitters.

Wyatt said far too often new parents don't know what action to take when there's a health problem with their child.

He said during the past two years, he's responded three times to a hysterical call for help from a parent whose child is having extreme difficulty breathing.

"I often arrive at the scene to find the baby either tightly swaddled or lying on the floor and no one is doing anything," said Wyatt.

"Parents often don't how know how to properly take care of their child when he or she falls ill, especially in a crisis situation.

"So the purpose of the course is to educate new parents and people with infants and young children on what to do in the event of an emergency."

Wyatt said in the south, people who are about to have kids often attend prenatal classes, especially when it's their first child, to figure out what to expect when having a baby.

But, even then, he said, he's not sure how deeply such classes get into how to properly care for the child after it's born, or if they do at all.

"Honestly, every single person in this community should sit through a two-day first aid/CPR course.

"It's not just kids who die. Adults can go into cardiac arrest at anytime and people just don't know what to do.

"However, we're simply not equipped to be able to teach everyone in the community first aid, which is unfortunate because you want to be able to react immediately when someone is in distress, especially when it's a child.

Support for family Rankin Inlet Amanda Ford of Rankin Inlet set up a memorial near Itivia in honour of Lynnora Siusangnark, 33, who was found dead in Rankin Inlet on April 26.

Residents of Rankin Inlet brought stuffed animals and flowers to the memorial and Ford made 160 red pins and collected donations of both food and money to send to Siusangnark's family in Naujaat.

"I've seen just about everything you can possibly imagine in the time that I've been doing this. When it's a baby you're trying to save – and they're all about two or three months old – and you just can't bring that baby back, it's tough. It's really hard to take."

Wyatt said the previous two infant CPR courses were filled to capacity with a maximum of 14 participants.

He said a number of people signed up for the course at the Rankin Inlet Fire Rescue EMS booth during the annual health fair at the community hall in Rankin on May 7 and 8, but he hasn't had time to go through the names just yet.

"I understand a number of kids signed up and, if they're old enough to babysit, we'll take all of them for the course, as well, because it's really important for them to know how to perform CPR. "In my opinion, it should really be something that's offered in the middle school (Simon Alaittuq School).

"I know they do it in the high school (Maani Ulujuk Ilinniarvik), but middle school is a good opportunity for them to learn, as well."

Wyatt said his department sends representatives to the health fair every year.

He said they take full advantage of the funding they receive for everything from being on-hand for activities such as the health fair and the Kivalliq Trade Show, to first responder training and first aid training.

"The health fair is a good opportunity for us to be involved and highlight some of the stuff we do in the community in terms of helping to keep people safe.

"I mean, we're not feeding anyone healthy food but we're the first ones there when they get sick.

"I'm looking forward to delivering the infant CPR course, along with some of my medics, this coming month.

"It will all be organized and run inhouse."

Winnipeg Inuit resource centre opens First of its kind to open in Western Canada

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Kivalliq/Winnipeg

The first Inuit resource centre to open in Western Canada held a grand opening to welcome the public through its doors in Winnipeg on May 4.

The Tungasugit Inuit Resource Centre is located on Sargeant Avenue and is operated by Tungasugit Inc. The organization's original executive board is comprised of board members Steve and Jackie Massey, Gail Wallace, Maxine Angoo and Nikki Komaksiutiksaq.

The centre's Inuit outreach co-ordinator Maxine Anguk said Tungasugit Inc. is committed to enhancing the quality of life for Inuit who live in Winnipeg, as well as the many Inuit who come to the city on medical travel throughout the year.

She said it was amazing to see so many Inuit come to see a space they can call their own and, once inside, be surrounded by Inuit art, Inuit food and fellow Inuit.

"Tungasugit Inc. is focused on achieving its goals at the resource centre by using culturally-relevant programs and services, working through language barriers, and ori-

enting Inuit to southern culture and a new environment," said Anguk.

"It's not an easy transition when you move from a small town to a big city.

"We're here to help with cultural access, education and programming, as well as ongoing health-andsocial-services assistance, and employment-and-income assistance.

"We're also here to help Inuit moving to Winnipeg navigate housing, as well as helping them with child-andfamily services when needed and more."

Anguk said the biggest hit among those attending the grand opening celebration on May 4 was the quaq (frozen caribou).

She said all the quaq they had on-hand was completely gone within the hour.

"Everyone spoke in Inuktitut to each other, and we were all smiling and laughing, which made us feel like we were home in our own communities," said Anguk.

"I would like to let people know that we're in need of donations of meat such as caribou, beluga, fish, seal, etc., and Calm Air doesn't charge if people send us country foods. Please get in touch

A personal apology for my mistake Ulukhaktok

Northern News Services

First and foremost, I got the story wrong ("Police investigate woman's death," May 1).

For that I sincerely apologize to readers of the Kivalliq News and Nunavut News.

And, more importantly, I am also hat in hand in offering my heartfelt condolences to the Siusangnark family for their loss – and my deepest, most sincere apologies for erroneously reporting that Lynnora Siusangnark, 33, of Naujaat had lost her life due to foul play in Rankin Inlet on April 26.

The RCMP have not named the deceased but one thing I don't doubt is Siusangnark is the subject of their latest news release May 10 that states foul play has been ruled out following the results of an autopsy.

Second of all, no matter what the circumstances, I would spend the remaining years of my life behind bars, if need be, before I would ever reveal the name or names of the

sources behind any story with my tragedy, and/or talking to numerous people, past and present, with firstname on it.

Counsellors help local students deal with recent trauma in community

by Darrell Greer

Northern News Services

Naujaat

Sports and personal experience were two of the key points focused on by two counsellors who travelled to Naujaat to help students at Tuugaalik High School deal with a tragedy and a rash of near tragedies to affect the community recently.

One or more of the counsellors were in Naujaat from

April 30 until May 10.

School vice-principal Julia MacPherson said grief, anger and shock being felt in Naujaat following the death of a community member in Rankin Inlet and five failed suicide attempts during the previous month in the community prompted assistant deputy minister with the Department of Health's Quality of Life, Kim Masson, to be contacted with a request to arrange

counsellors and support for the students at Tuugaalik.

She said Johnny Issaluk and Annie Petaulassie flew into Naujaat April 30 to provide the much-needed support and to help the students deal with what had been happening in their community.

Petaulassie is an Inuit elder with more than 30 years teaching experience and other varied experiences working with and counselling youth,

including those involved with Northern Youth Abroad and Students on Ice. She is also a survivor of suicide, a gifted seamstress, and an artist who is in much demand for various programs across the territory.

"Annie spoke to every class and worked with our own school and community counsellor, Jennifer Kadjuk, and our Inuktitut teacher, Calinda Crawford – and she

had such a strong spirit that she left the students with a lasting positive impression," said MacPherson.

"She was excited to see past students, or students she traveled with for Students on Ice, and she shared vulnerable stories and events from her past that were very emotional for her.

"We were grateful for the message she gave the students and the strength she showed in the school.

"What a wonderful woman! It was an honour to have her in our school."

MacPherson said Issaluk, originally from Chesterfield Inlet, delivered an outstanding program to the students comprised of Inuit games and motivational speaking in addition to his many other gifts.

She said Issaluk has been in feature films – Indian Horse, Two Lovers and a Bear – and, most recently, has appeared on the TV show, The Terror.

Issaluk is also the author of Games of Survival: Traditional Inuit Games for Elementary Students.

"Johnny worked in the gym with our physical-education teacher, Gaspare Minaudo, and he got to see every student," said MacPherson.

"He spoke to students about events in his past that were both tough and emotional for him, as well as his time participating in Inuit games.

"The students really loved their time with Johnny and you could tell they really looked up to him. You would

often hear them yelling his name, like they were old friends.

"Again, it was an honour to have him in our school and we appreciate his strength and kindness."

MacPherson brought in frozen char and caribou for Minaudo and the students to prepare for Issaluk and Petaulassie's final day at Tuugaalik High School, so they could enjoy some frozen caribou and char, caribou pizza and fried caribou.

In addition to Issaluk and Petaulassie, two counsellors from Pulaarvik Kablu Friendship Centre in Rankin Inlet were scheduled to arrive in Naujaat on May 3, and remain in the community providing additional support until May 10.

Tuugaalik High School principal Aubrey Bolt said Naujaat elder Donat Milortok dropped by the school to see Issaluk, who is a longtime family friend.

He said Milortok enjoyed watching the students participate in Inuit games, touring around the school, speaking with the students, and enjoying some country food.

"The visit of Johnny and Annie to our school was a great experience for our students," said Bolt.

"They provided the students with stories of resiliency, motivation and achievement.

"And, they encouraged students to seek out others for support and that we all have bright futures."
