When asked if the appointment came as a surprise, she replied, \u201cYes \u00a0and no. I wasn\u2019t doing much after I retired, but people kept asking me \u00a0if I was putting my name in, and the more I thought about it, I thought, \u00a0maybe this is a, hopefully, last thing I could do to help Nunavut in a \u00a0different way.\u201d Karetak-Lindell, who calls Arviat home, described the application process as similar to a normal job interview with a committee. She called being selected \u201ca great honour.
