Eskimo ordained as first priest in Anglican Church
Rev. Armand Tagoona of Rankin Inlet in the eastern Arctic becomes the first Eskimo to be ordained a full priest in the Anglican Church of Canada. The May 27 ceremony at St James Cathedral Toronto was led by Bishop Donald B. Marsh and attended by government and RCMP representatives plus Eskimo aides. Tagoona, born to Ivelk parents at Repulse Bay, has served Rankin Inlet since ordination as deacon, building a frame mission for about 100 people and guiding a bilingual church press and school program.
