Inuk (Inuvialuk) writer.
Born 1930, at:
- Baillie-Hamilton Island, Nunavut (says Crystal). But no indigenous population of this island is mentioned.
- Baillie Island, Northwest Territories (says Wikipedia). This is more likely.
Lived in Souris (Manitoba), later in Ireland.
Published two autobiographical books: My Name is Masak (1977) and The Restless Nomad (1992).
Crystal quotes passages relating to the present state of the Inuit language and the difficulties of carrying it on.
