Elisapie

Elisapie Isaac (also known simply as Elisapie), born in 1977, is a Canadian Inuk musician, broadcaster, documentary filmmaker, activist, and actress who has become one of the most important voices representing Inuit culture in contemporary Canadian music. She was born in Salluit in Nunavik, the daughter of an Inuit mother and a Newfoundland father, and was adopted at birth by an Inuit family as their eldest daughter.

She spent her childhood in Salluit, Nunavik, Quebec, and moved to Montreal in 1999 to pursue communication studies in order to become a journalist. As a teenager, Elisapie began performing on stage with her uncles, who were themselves members of a famous Inuit rock 'n' roll band named Sugluk (also known as Salluit Band), connecting her to a musical legacy that would profoundly shape her career.

Isaac collaborated with instrumentalist Alain Auger in the musical project Taima (Inuktitut for "that's all" or "it is done") in the early 2000s, and the band's sole album, "Taima," won the Juno Award for Aboriginal Recording of the Year in 2005. On September 15, 2023, Elisapie released "Inuktitut," her fourth solo record, on which the Inuk artist covers ten classic rock and pop songs from the 1960s to the 1990s translated into Inuktitut, her mother tongue. Its success earned Elisapie two Juno Awards (for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year in 2024 and Adult Alternative Album of the Year in 2025) and five awards at the 2024 ADISQ Gala. Beyond music, Isaac's 2003 National Film Board of Canada documentary "If the Weather Permits," filmed in Kangiqsujuaq, northern Quebec, looks at the changing lifestyles of Inuit in Nunavik and received several awards, including the Claude Jutra Award for best new director at the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois.
