In Memoriam: Marlene Okakok, Ilisaqtitchiri
Iñupiaq Teacher
Qannik played a big role at Qargi Academy as our Inupiaq teacher and mentor.
Not only in class, but she advocated throughout many meetings, conferences and summits with her whole heart for our students. She made a big impact in all our students lives modeling the Inupiaq values daily. She taught with love and compassion. Her big dream was to talk with our students in Inupiaq only. We called her our “Prayer Warrior.” She prayed us through out our years at Qargi Academy. We will honor her legacy by continuing to nurture our community in the spirit she so beautifully embodied.

Hello, my name is Piquuraq Aguvluk. I am from Wainwright, Alaska. I am a teacher at Qargi Academy.
To me, passing down traditional and cultural knowledge is important. Our youth must know who we are, how our ancestors endured and strived to survive off our land and what they fought for to keep their families, surroundings and animals safe. I love working with our youth.
As adults we must be good mentors so we can make a difference in our youth who are our future leaders.
