Birth of Taamusi Qumaq

Birth of historian, linguist, writer and politician Taamusi Qumaq in Niqsiturlik (Nunavik) in 1914.

« From what my parents told me, I was born in January 1914. My father noted the time of my birth. So, I know I came into the world that year, on an island just north of Inukjuak. »
