Kallu "Leo" Nangmalik, 50, sits inside his small cabin on a point of land outside of Repulse Bay. A gas stove and lantern were his only source of heat. Mr. Nangmalik told The Globe he was abused as a child in a residential school and has had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse, crime and jail time. He said he is trying to turn his life around. Participation in a men's healing group had been helpful, he added. Shortly after this piece was published, The Globe and Mail learned that Mr. Nangmalik had tragically taken his own life. He was 50.Peter Power/The Globe and Mail
