Up until this summer Cynthia Tunguak had never worked with seal skin. Being from Baker Lake, Nunavut’s only inland community, Tunguak said the marine mammal isn’t traditionally used as a material for making clothing. That changed after she attended the Somebody’s Daughter program in Rankin Inlet this summer.

Rankin Inlet will soon become the largest independent power producer in Nunavut thanks to the installation of solar panels on the community’s new arena.

Rankin Inlet’s Laura MacKenzie says she plans to fight for all Nunavummiut if she is voted in as the next MP for Nunavut in the Sept. 20 federal election.

The sun had already set when the fireworks started going off in Baker Lake. Nearly the entire town was gathered along the shoreline on Aug. 20 with their headlights beaming toward the horizon to welcome their hunters home.
