Nancy Etok, from Kangiqsualujjuaq, Nunavik, represents the Ungava region on the Board of Pauktuutit. As the Vice-Principal of Ulluriaq School in her community, Nancy is passionate about empowering youth and fostering leadership rooted in Inuit values.<\/p>\n
Nancy describes Kangiqsualujjuaq, her home, as a community \u201chugged by beautiful mountains\u201d that give a sense of safety and love. Growing up there, she experienced the strength and support of her community while also seeing the challenges Inuit women face. \u201cTraditional gender roles often place the responsibility of childcare and household management on women, yet many are stepping into leadership roles to create positive change in the community. Balancing these two roles\u201d Nancy says, \u201ccan be a stressful challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy believes Pauktuutit plays an essential role in helping Inuit women overcome these challenges. \u201cAn organization like Pauktuutit is vital,\u201d she says. \u201cIt brings hope, strength, and a sense of belonging while providing women with the tools they need to become future leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Nancy, Pauktuutit\u2019s true power lies in its ability to unite Inuit women. \u201cWhen Inuit women come together, we find ways to overcome challenges that can feel overwhelming. Collaboration leads to solutions, and those solutions always bring hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nancy draws inspiration from her grandmother, who was dedicated to being of service to others. \u201cShe cared deeply for everyone and understood what people needed,\u201d Nancy shares. \u201cWhen I feel sad or hopeless, I still talk to her. I know she\u2019s with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nancy\u2019s life experiences have taught her the importance of compassion and understanding. She has seen the ongoing impacts of colonization and its resulting trauma and violence but sees vulnerability as a pathway to healing. \u201cEven if someone feels damaged, they can still be an incredible contributor to our community. Teaching young people to embrace vulnerability is so important because it leads to strength.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her work with youth at Ulluriaq School brings her immense joy. Watching children grow from curious five-year-olds into confident young adults fills her with hope for the future. \u201cPlanting seeds of encouragement, reminding them they\u2019re not alone, that\u2019s what drives me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Nancy hopes her work with Pauktuutit will inspire the next generation of Inuit women to achieve their dreams and surpass her own accomplishments. \u201cI want young women to feel driven to do what propels them forward,\u201d she says. \u201cI want them to see no limits to what they can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n
