Hagar Idlout-Sudlovenick
Hagar was born on the land in the late 1950's when some
Inuit families were still living off the land. She is the seventh child
of 12 children. She attended a residential school at age eight, spent
summers at home with family and later on attended college and University
in Saskatchewan. She returned home in the 1980's, lived in Resolute Bay
and then Pond Inlet and now lives in Iqaluit with husband, David and
four children and family dog name Duke.
Work history and experience—She worked under Nunavut
Housing Corporation for nine years as housing manager in Pond Inlet and
as program officer. She moved to Iqaluit and worked for Nunavut
Tunngavik Inc. as Executive Director for Administration from 1998 to
2000. Hagar has moved on to work for Indian and Northern Affairs
in July of 2000 up to now, and acts as Director of Intergovernmental
Affairs and Inuit Relations, in the Nunavut Regional Office based in
Iqaluit.
Hagar enjoys spending time with family and friend, going
on the land camping and fishing on weekends. She enjoys designing and
sewing traditional Inuit clothing made either from caribou or seal
skins. She likes to walk in the early morning hours with Duke; giving
her the time to think and plan her busy day ahead—in solitude.
