About
Micah Arreak
Micah Arreak is currently a researcher and translator for Inuit IQ and Oral History at Nunavut Arctic College. She has a great interest in preserving and transmitting cultural knowledge. Hergrandmother, Letia Ajaqqut Panikpachoocho, instilled in her a love of baking bread and bunsand making Inuit traditional foods like “alu,” a dessert made from caribou fat and blueberries.Micah wishes to pass down the knowledge that her ancestor freely gave her and inspire peopleto carry on this Inuit wisdom by mixing and matching traditional and foreign foods for a betterlife. Her favourite food is caribou meat, but she could survive on just aged meat or dried meatslike nikku, qasaarraq, pissi, aujalisaq, and niqittannak.
