Ralph Kownak, Heritage Manager

Ralph's primary focus is on Place Names Program, which involves recording Elders' place names knowledge and getting this information on to maps to share with communities. The work also involves a process to make the names official, with the GN, to ensure the names will endure long into the future. Ralph is also involved in reviewing archaeology permit applications with communities, as well as the production of educational materials to communicate heritage-related information to Nunavummiut.
