Angela Nuliayok Rudolph

My name is Angela Nuliayok Rudolph. My Inuktitut name is Qanuvaaq, named after my late great-grandmother on my maternal side. I am a Nunavut Inuk originally from Gjoa Haven, Nunavut, and have called Yellowknife home for the past three years. Prior to settling here, I lived in Yellowknife on several occasions, including for a year and during a summer season. Throughout my childhood, I visited Yellowknife frequently, as it serves as the regional hub for the Kitikmeot.

​

I currently work remotely as an Intergovernmental Affairs Advisor with the Government of Nunavut. My educational background includes graduate studies in the Arctic and Northern Studies Department at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, where I focused on the resilience of Inuit women to colonial impacts. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science and a Bachelor of Secondary Education.

​

Through both my personal and academic experiences, I have developed a deep understanding of the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples. These impacts have contributed to the disproportionate number of Indigenous individuals who access housing support services across the North.

​

I strongly believe that everyone deserves access to safe, suitable and stable housing and that vulnerable individuals should be met with compassion, dignity, and support wherever they are in their journey. These values align closely with the mission of the Yellowknife Women’s Society, and I am honored to contribute to this important work as a member of the Board of Directors.
