“It’s not about falling between the cracks, because it’s almost like deaths like Jake’s have become normalized”
A couple of summers ago Jake Angurasak, whose frozen body was found recently outside Iqaluit, visited his biological family in Naujaat.
“When he was here, he was very happy with his siblings—that’s how I’ll remember him,” Angurasak’s biological mother, Rebecca Tuktudjuk told Nunatsiaq News from her Naujaat home Dec. 20.
“He visited us to be close to us and to his grandparents. He used to go out hunting,” Tuktudjuk said.
