Aglukark was born in Manitoba city of Churchill. But she grew up in the Inuit hamlet of Arviat, in in what is now known as the territory of Nunavut. In 1995, Aglukark captured a pair of trophies at the JUNO Awards, annually held to recognize Canada’s top musicians. She was named as the best new solo artist and also took top honours
