  • Ningiukulu (Ningeokuluk) Teevee (born May 27, 1963 in Cape Dorset) is a Canadian Inuit writer and artist.

  • Her work is featured in the permanent collections of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
  • Teevee uses ink and coloured pencils as her primary mediums: constructing imagery that is built from her knowledge of Inuit folklore, combined with the humorous aspects of contemporary life in Nunavut.
  • The wealth of these Inuit stories depict, in her flattened 2D style (an abstraction of representation, referencing patterns found in nature), relationships between the land and animals that are used for sustenance, and the familial histories that define a wealth of cultural storytelling.Her first children's book, Alego, is an authentic introduction to Inuit Tradition and lifestyle - a nominee for the 2009 Governor General's Award for children's literature illustration.
  • Alego is an autobiographical tale (written and illustrated by Teevee) about adventure and discovery along the seashore; for the first time, a young girl goes clam-digging with her grandmother.In 2006, her first solo exhibition was held at the Feheley Fine Arts Gallery in Toronto, titled "Ningeokuluk Teevee." In 2009 she had her second solo exhibition at Feely Fine Arts Gallery in Toronto, titled "Drawings by Ningeokuluk Teevee," which included a public presentation of Alego.In 2017, the Winnipeg Art Gallery opened Ningiukulu Teevee: Kinngait Stories at the Embassy of Canada in Washington, DC.
