Canada Post Has Introduced a Stamp to Honor Elisapie

Canada Post pays homage to the talent and resilience of Elisapie, a distinguished Inuk singer-songwriter, filmmaker, and activist. Elisapie, who expresses herself in Inuktitut, English, and French, has dedicated her career to promoting Inuit culture and traditions through her various artistic endeavors.

Elisapie's stamp is part of the Indigenous Leaders series, which aims to recognize the contributions of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit leaders in Canada. Elisapie's achievements include a JUNO Award with the musical duo Taima, a successful solo music career with albums highlighting her Inuit heritage, and notable work in film and television, such as the documentary short 'If the Weather Permits' and the annual cultural program 'Le grand solstice.' Elisapie's efforts have earned her multiple accolades, including the Ambassador Prize at the Teweikan Awards and an honorary doctorate from Concordia University.
