Now living in Montreal, she has developed a unique style that is grounded in traditional Inuit storytelling and blended with gritty urban speak to tell contemporary stories that evoke the challenges of being Inuit in modern Canadian society. The Nunatsiaq News has written, “When she performs, you can never tell what you’ll hear next: an amusing satire perhaps, a delicate lyric, or a raucous barrage of high-speed lines, delivered straight from the gut.” Taqralik recorded her Eskimo Chick piece for the compilation CD distributed with Spirit Magazine’s 2006 spring music issue and is working on a debut CD. She is communications director of the Avataq Cultural Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the language and culture of Inuit in Nunavik.

She began her professional career with CanWest Broadcasting in Montreal and later joined Rezolution Pictures of Montreal. She was co-director of One More River, a film that documented the emotional and political turmoil within the Cree Nation when they signed a new deal to allow more hydroelectric damming on their land. The film won the Best Documentary Award at the Rendez-vous des Cinema Quebecois in 2005 and was nominated for the Donald Brittain Best Social/Political Documentary at the Geminis. The film was broadcast on APTN in March 2005. Her second film was Mohawk Girls, which she wrote, directed, and filmed, about the lives of three Mohawk teenagers growing up on the Kahnawake reserve. It was co-produced with Rezolution Pictures and the National Film Board and won the Alanis Obomsawin Best Documentary Award at the ImagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in 2005. Her latest projects are a feature documentary called Club Native, examining the concept of modern Native identity, and a feature documentary about a Mohawk immersion elementary school, with Mushkeg Media, as well as two short fiction films currently in development with her production company, Mohawk Princess Pictures.

The New Sun Conference on Aboriginal Arts: Backgrounder
Since its beginning in 2002, the New Sun Conference on Aboriginal Arts has brought together in a public forum individuals from various First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities, as well as the non-Native community. Presenters have included those with expertise in photography, painting, sculpture, film making, musical performance, curating, arts education, literature and the culinary arts. Themes such as “healing through the arts,” “transforming traditions,” “engaging authenticity”, “interweaving communities” and “survivance” have been explored in a collegial and communal atmosphere that encourages dialogue on important cultural and artistic issues. The conference honours, and seeks to raise public awareness of individuals whose work affirms contemporary Aboriginal experience and contributes to increased cross-cultural understanding. All conference presentations have been archived on video and DVD and can be borrowed from the Carleton University Library. Allan J. Ryan was appointed as the New Sun Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture in July, 2001. The first of its kind in Canada, the Chair is situated in the School of Canadian Studies at Carleton. It was made possible through the support of the New Sun Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Ottawa.
