Killaq Enuaraq-Strauss
Canadian indigenous activist
Killaq Enuaraq-Strauss is a Canadian activist of Inuit and Jewish heritage.
Personal life
Enuaraq-Strauss was born and raised in Iqaluit, Nunavut, the daughter of an Inuk mother, Susan Enuaraq, and a Jewish father. Her mother's niece, Sula Arreak and Sula's two daughters, Alexandra and Aliyah Degrasse, were murdered in Iqaluit in 2011. Hours after the discovery of the murder, Sula's husband, Sylvain Degrasse, was found dead by gunshot in a local cemetery.
Growing up, Enuaraq-Strauss was the only child in her class with mixed Jewish and Inuit heritage. As a teenager, Enuaraq-Strauss moved to British Columbia to attend a boarding school. While in British Columbia, Enuaraq-Strauss began to reconnect with her Jewish heritage, attending synagogue and learning more about the laws of kashrut. She began to keep kosher and fast on Yom Kippur.
Activism
Enuaraq-Strauss has argued that seal meat can be considered kosher. Citing the principle of "pikuach nefesh", she claims that it is acceptable for Inuit Jews to consume seal meat given that it is necessary for the survival of Inuit living in the Arctic.
