There aren't a lot of Aboriginal RCMP officers, let alone Inuit officers. There hasn't been one in depot—which is the RCMP's cadet training division—in 13 years.

19-year-old Emma Inookee is about to change that. She plans to have a career with the Nunavut RCMP and inspire others to follow in her footsteps.
