Agnes Nanogak Goose (12 November 19255 May 2001) was an Inuk artist from Holman (Ulukhaktok), Northwest Territories, Canada.〔 == Life ==
Nanogak was born on Baillie Island, Northwest Territories, in 1925. Her father, Natkutsiak (Billy Banksland) was from Nome, Alaska, and worked as a harpoonist on whaling boats. He sailed with explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson in his attempt to find the Northwest Passage.〔〔 Natkutsiak was a skilled story teller, and instilled in Nanogak an appreciation for legends and the tradition of story telling.〔 Nanogak's mother, Topsy Ekiona, came from the Mackenzie Delta region, near Tuktoyaktuk. Ekiona and Natkutsiak married and travelled between Baillie Island and Banks Island, where a trading post afforded them trapping and trading opportunities. Nanogak and her brother, Alec Aliknak Banksland, were born on Baille Island. The family relocated to Sachs Harbour on Banks Island before settling at Holman, on Victoria Island, in 1934, when Nanogak was nine years old.〔 At the time, they were the only family to reside in Holman.〔 In 1943 Nanogak married Wallace Goose from the Tuktoyaktuk, and Kugluktuk (Coppermine) areas.〔〔 They had seven children. In 1985 Nanogak received an honorary degree from Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.〔〔 Nanogak is the first Inuit artist to receive an honorary degree from a university.〔() Section15.ca, Nancy’s Very Own Foundation〕 Nanogak was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2000. After the diagnosis, she describes feeling increased urgency to continue her work, so that she could "help people remember the stories."〔 Nanogak died in Holman in 2001, and in 2002 the Winnipeg Art Gallery held a solo exhibition of her works.〔 Her work has been featured in dozens of exhibitions across Canada, the United States, and Europe.〔 Her artwork can be found in the collections of at least fifteen institutions across Canada and the United States.〔
