As the first woman to compete in and win the “Nunavut Quest” dog team race, Denise Malliki is a great source of inspiration for many young Inuit women and men as well as a compelling ambassador for our Inuit culture and traditions.

My name is Tooguyuk, which means “big fluffy dog”. I'm actually from
Igloolik, and am Samueli Ammaq's lead dog. In the film, I am going to
play the lead dog of the Greenlandic character Bosun (played by Qillaq
Petersen from Qaanaaq).
Prior to watching Qimuksik (Dog Team), students will complete a KWL Chart and will learn general information about Nunavut and the Inuit. Following the film, students will revisit their chart, adding any information they learned during the lesson. Students will then reflect on the film and illustrate a scene that they recall, complete with a brief description.
