Abe Okpik
Abe "Abraham" Okpik,〔(Arctic residents say farewell to the humble name-giver )〕 CM (12 January 1928 – 10 July 1997〔 interview starts at 20:48〕) was an Inuit community leader in Canada. He was instrumental in helping Inuit obtain surnames rather than disc numbers. He was also the first Inuk to sit on what is now the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories〔 and worked with Thomas Berger. ==Early life== Okpik (the name means "snowy owl" in Inuvialuktun), an Inuvialuit, was born in the Mackenzie Delta area of the Northwest Territories, near Aklavik at a summer fishing camp. As a youth he, like many other Aboriginal people, contracted tuberculosis and was sent to the Charles Camsell Hospital in Edmonton. Although he was permanently injured by his dog sled he was still able to hunt and trap.
