Thank you, Mr. Speaker and good morning. Mr. Speaker, on February 26, 2003, the Northwest Territories Status of Women Council announced the winners of the Wise Woman Awards for 2003. Mrs. Lena Anikina, late of Tuktoyaktuk, was selected for the Beaufort-Delta region. Mr. Speaker, Lena was a highly respected and knowledgeable elder in her community of Tuktoyaktuk, who dedicated her time to the preservation of her culture and the Inuvialuit way of life. She assisted with translation of oral history documentation, traditional place names and assisted with the Inuvialuit dictionary as well. Mr. Speaker, Lena will be dearly missed by her family, friends and relatives. She passed away on February 15, 2003 but will always be remembered as a kind, gentle and wise woman. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
