Jeannie Manning was born in Cape Dorset, and grew up there and in Iqaluit, where she went to Residential High School at the Gordon Robertson Education Centre. She completed secondary education through Adult Education in Kingait. She then took the Nunavut Language and Culture Program at Nunavut Arctic College in Iqaluit, from 1998–2000, and received both the certificate and then the Diploma in Interpretation and Translation with Honors. After experiencing several hardships in her life, Jeannie moved to Ottawa in 2013, where she now lives. She is now working freelance at her profession as an Interpreter/Translator. Jeannie has supported Isaruit Inuit Women’s Sewing Centre/Isaruit Inuit Arts from the beginning, and has a real sense that Inuktitut language arts, like Interpretation/translation, is an art form in itself. Jeannie is helping Isaruit members to keep Inuktitut front and centre as the first working language of our Centre.
