Elisapie Isaac spent much of her childhood at the post office in Salluit, a tiny Inuit community in northern Quebec, nearly 2,000 kilometres north of Montreal.
Every day after school, instead of playing with her friends, she visited her dad at the co-op, where he was a stock boy. Her older cousin, Alaku, worked at the nearby post office, where Elisapie mingled with the other locals waiting for their welfare checks or income tax returns.
