Congratulations to Beatrice Deer on winning two Félix Awards at the 2026 ADISQ Galas!

Originally from Quaqtaq, Nunavik, Beatrice received Indigenous Artist of the Year and Album of the Year in Indigenous Languages for her album Inuit Legend.

Blending traditional Inuit storytelling with folk, pop rock, and indie music, Beatrice brings together her unique musical style and cultural heritage.

Beyond her musical achievements, Beatrice has also been a facilitator for many of Saturviit's grief workshops, supporting Nunavik Inuit women and families through healing, connection, and community care.

Her achievements showcase the incredible talent of Nunavik Inuit women, and her dedication to supporting others continues to inspire and uplift our communities.

Congratulations, Beatrice!

From November 3 to 5, Saturviit and Pauktuutit hosted a three-day MMIWG2S+ engagement at the Saturviit Women's Centre, bringing community members together to discuss the safety and wellbeing of Inuit women, girls, and gender-diverse Inuit.

The engagement focused on the Calls for Justice, the National Action Plan, and actions needed to address violence against Inuit women, girls, and gender-diverse Inuit.

Participants also took part in wellness activities, sewing, beading, and cultural performances, with country food shared during the gathering.

We sincerely thank everyone who participated, shared their knowledge and perspectives, and contributed to these important conversations.
