An Inuk Perspective on Urban Living

Heidi Langille is a proud urban Inuk with family roots in Nunatsiavut (the Inuit homeland of northern Labrador). She is a mother, cultural educator, throat singer, and Inuit games demonstrator.

Heidi is one of the founders of the Ottawa Inuit Children’s Centre, now called Inuuqatigiit Centre, which empowers Inuit families in Ottawa through culture-based programming and services.

In 2010 Heidi was recognized as one of twelve National Aboriginal Role Models across Canada by the National Aboriginal History Organization.
