Angie was born in Resolute Bay. Her parents; Simeonie and Sarah Amagoalik were relocated from Inukjuak to Resolute Bay in 1953.

“Life in Resolute was very difficult. I’m sorry I will get emotional. This is kind of the very first time ever that I’m able to express how it was living in Resolute Bay and growing up in Resolute Bay.

It was very difficult; of course like anybody else in life there were ups and downs. There is happiness, there is a lot of sadness but merely to me, it was very, very sad. It was scary, it was horrific, it was… it was a very scary place to live in.”
