Aigah Attagutsiaq

Aigah Attagutsiaq was born and raised in Arctic Bay. When she moved about 20 years ago to Ottawa with her children, she began working as an adult educator and counselor and eventually studied to become an ordained Anglican minister. Throughout her life, Aigah has always sewn clothing and craft items out of sealskin and knows well how healing it can be to create and sew things for her family and to sell or give to others. Aigah’s work as the only Inuit Anglican Minister, at St. Margaret’s Anglican Church in Vanier in the City of Ottawa, keeps her extremely busy, but she stills joins Isaruit for conferences and sewing drop ins when she can.
