Annie Ittoshat

When she was young, her Inuk parents were forced to leave their coastal camps as part of an effort to "civilize" their nomadic lifestyle; her father had his sled dogs slaughtered and her brothers were removed to residential schools.

[6] She later served as a priest at Church of the Epiphany in Verdun and was elected to the ACC's Anglican Council of Indigenous Peoples.

[7] At the Diocese of the Arctic's triennial synod in Yellowknife in March 2019, Ittoshat was elected and consecrated a suffragan bishop alongside Joey Royal and Lucy Netser.

[8] Ittoshat moved north to serve simultaneously as lead pastor at St. James Anglican Church in Salluit; her episcopal responsibilities included the parishes along Hudson Bay and the Ungava Peninsula.

[10] In 2023, alongside the other Arctic bishops, Ittoshat objected to the ACC's approval of gender transition liturgies and said they would not be authorized in the diocese.
