Aaluk Edwardson, born and raised on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, is a multidisciplinary artist, purposeful educator and the founder and director of Creative Decolonization, LLC. She is Iñupiaq/Norwegian and was raised in those cultures. 

Aaluk's work is focused on supporting wellness, cultural exploration and creative engagement in service to communities and families around the world. She has written poetry for adolescents healing from sexual abuse, culturally diverse plays for children and adults, and for TV.

She is working on a novel and two children's storybooks at present. Her first creative love was singing as a very young child. Her second arrived when she was five years old and it was theater. As an adult, Aaluk began and continues to grow her career in education.

She's taught elementary, middle and high school students and currently teaches creative writing and ancient Inuit history and art for the Iñupiaq Studies department at Iḷisaġvik College. Aaluk founded Creative Decolonization, LLC as a collaborative space to build community-driven creative projects that support cultural and individual wellness. The ATTA Project, the PUIGUITKAAT Project, the Evolving through Disaster Series, and the Sovereignty Stories Project are a few of the projects she's helped to develop in service to culture and community.
​
​She leads small group workshops for communities and organizations to support their purposeful exploration into what culture, cultural identity and wellness are for them. Aaluk hopes this work encourages people to treat one another with respect and kindness with the eventual goal of a world full of such things.
