Today I’d like to give condolences to Jeannie Keevik’s and past-Commissioner Helen Maksagak’s families. They were sisters. A couple weeks ago Jeannie passed away up in Tuk. I’d like to give condolences to her brother Albert Binder, her sister Ruth Pulk and their families, Stanley Keevik and all the Keevik family up in Tuk. Growing up in Tuk, I grew up two doors down from her. We called her little Nanook. She’d always have a smile and would give you words of encouragement and always looked out for everyone. She will be missed.
Condolences to all who lost loved ones since our last sitting in October. To everyone in the Northwest Territories, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
One thing I’d like to say, too, is Little Nanook would always tell us, “Listen to your elders.” Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
