Barbara Memogana

FULL OF PASSION

Barbara Memogana is an instructor in the Aboriginal Language Certificate Instructor Program at Aurora College. She is modest but irresistibly sweet and passionate about learning languages. Growing up on in outpost camp in Ulukhaktok, Memogana was fluent in Inuvialuktun. Later in life she travelled to attend teacher-training programs at University of Alberta, University of Calgary, and McGill. But the learning hasn’t stopped there. Currently, Memogana is now learning, with the help of elders, other aboriginal languages such as Gwich’in, Uummarmiut, and Siglit. Memogana is committed to the revival of Aboriginal languages in the North.
