Alice Masak French (June 29, 1930 – July 5, 2013) was an Inuk author who lived in Souris, Manitoba, Canada. An Inuvialuk, she was born at Baillie Island in the Northwest Territories.[1] Her work focuses on the experiences of Inuit women, and discusses the struggle to hold on to Native tradition. Her My Name is Masak (1976; translated into French as Je m'appelle Masak, 1979) is an autobiographical story about her youth in a boarding school, while The Restless Nomad (1992) continues the story up until she moves to Ireland.[2] She later returned to Canada and settled in Medicine Hat, Alberta.[1]
