Iqaluit student preparing for a musically-charged final year of high school before taking on Europe – NNSL
Taiga Las plans to demonstrate her culture when she moves to Poland
Not yet 17, Taiga Las has led an unusual life in Nunavut’s capital and will be entering her last year at Inuksuk High School in September.
Born in Iglulik, Las was adopted by a Polish-Canadian family, where she has been raised as Inuk, Canadian and Polish. She’s pursuing her love of music in her final year of high school and beyond, by planning to continue as a musician, drum dancer, fiddler and throat-singer while spending her Grade 12 year applying to music schools in Poland, where she also travels occasionally with her family.
