Дорота Андрусяк, пластунка, українка та інук за походженням, - майбутній пілот Air Inuit в статті від Globe and Mail про молодіжну програму навчання пілотній справі Інуїтів в північних районах Квебеку
The Inuk-Ukrainian woman grew up in Montreal and Yellowknife, with visits to Nunavik to connect with family and culture. She was raised mainly by her Ukrainian-Canadian father, who wanted her to know, and be proud of, her Inuit heritage, too.
“I’m really, really keen on being more Inuk and knowing more about Inuit culture, but I can’t do it on my own,” Ms. Andrusiak says.
When she left Montreal for Kuujuaq in 2019 to join Sparrows training, she also had the opportunity to be immersed in Inuktitut, eat traditional foods and be welcomed into community life. Ms. Andrusiak, 21, says she is looking to get the best of both contemporary and traditional worlds from a career with Air Inuit – and as it turns out, she loves to fly.
“It's only your body and the plane. Like there's nothing between those two,” she says.
