The new executive director of Tunngasugit, an Inuit-specific resource centre in Winnipeg, is ready to help Inuit in the Manitoba capital. I love that I am an Inuk working in an Inuit organization, working for Inuit, said Nikki Komaksiutiksak.
Komaksiutiksak is originally from Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut, and is fluent in Inuktitut. She helped co-found Tunngasugit in 2017, and took over as its executive director this week.
Komaksiutiksak has lived in Winnipeg for 30 years and said the organization was started to help people navigate barriers associated with relocating, but also to create a community among Inuit living in the city. The 2016 census counted 275 Inuit living in Winnipeg.
