By Xavier Kataquapit My aunt Celine Mary (Kataquapit) Nakogee passed away on September 28, 2026, at the age of 86. Her family will deeply miss her kindness, wonderful smile, and fun nature. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, past Attawapiskat Chief John B. Nakogee and their children George, Jenny, Mary, David, Roger, Beverly, Norman and Peter. She was also predeceased by their son John B Jr. She also leaves behind many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I had a chance to speak to my uncle John B after the funeral. He talked about how deeply he was connected to his life partner and how much they loved each other. They both grew up in the north and they understood how hard their lives had been. They are both survivors… <\/p>\n
