Residents of areas in Canada’s far north, including aboriginal people, have expressed their admiration for the late Queen Elizabeth II, adding to the outpouring of emotions for the late monarch from people from across the globe.
In Canada’s majority-Inuit territory of Nunavut, Joy Suluk of Arviat recalled a meeting with Her Majesty in 1994 during a royal visit to Rankin Inlet, a small hamlet of less than 3,000 people, saying that she had taken a plane there just to meet the Queen.
Suluk stated that she displayed her crafts to the Queen, who later bought cushions and a quilt after being so impressed with the workmanship.
In the years since the royal visit, Ms Suluk has built a large collection of royal memorabilia and said she felt heartbroken after hearing of the Queen’s passing earlier this week. “I have always looked up to her, respected her and followed her reign,” she told broadcaster CBC.
“She’s always been my Queen.
