Elizabeth Goudie (née Blake; April 20, 1902, Mud Lake, Colony of Newfoundland – June 10, 1982 Happy Valley, Labrador) was an Inuit Canadian writer.
[3] (ISBN 1-894294-27-0) At the age of 18, she married Jim Goudie, a trapper, with whom she had nine children, one of whom, Joe, served as member of the House of Assembly for Naskaupi (1975–85) and held several portfolios in the administrations of Frank Moores and Brian Peckford.
In 1963, her husband died and Elizabeth began to reminisce about her life and decided to write it out, finishing in June 1971.
David Zimmerly, an anthropological researcher from Memorial University, stationed in Happy Valley, heard of Goudie's memoirs and went to talk to her.
[6] A play, "Woman of Labrador; The Elizabeth Goudie Story", starring Sherry Smith (actor), was made from her book.
