Louise Flaherty

grew up in Clyde River, Nunavut. Early on, Louise was fortunate to be surrounded by great storytellers. Her grandparents instilled in her a passion for Inuktitut, and an understanding that speaking Inuktitut is a fundamental part of Inuit identity. In 2005, Louise co-founded Inhabit Media Inc., an independent publishing house dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Inuit knowledge and values, and the Inuktitut language. Inhabit Media has since published dozens of books and Inuktitut resources that are used in classrooms throughout Nunavut. In 2012, with her partners at Inhabit Media, Louise co-founded Taqqut Productions Inc., a Nunavut-based animation company. In her role as producer for Taqqut Productions, Louise continues to work to ensure the current generation of Nunavummiut never forget their culture and their language.
