Kigusiuq was born near Hanningajuq (Garry Lake), Northwest Territories (now Nunavut).[1] In the 1950s, her husband Kuuk was afflicted with tuberculosis and the couple relocated to Baker Lake for medical treatment.[1][2] She began to draw after encouragement from local crafts officer Boris Kotelewitz as a way to supplement her income while her husband received further treatment outside of Baker Lake.[2][3]
Her work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada,[4] the Winnipeg Art Gallery,[5] the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec[6] and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.[7]
