After 50-year search, Inuk mother finds daughter's grave 2,000 km from home

The only photo of Marieyvonne Alaka hangs on the wall of her mother's home in Iqaluit. Her small face pokes out of her mother's amauti.

The photo was taken in 1959, when Marieyvonne was just a few months old.

At age four, she was sent from her home in Igloolik, Nunavut, to the residential school in Chesterfield Inlet. Marieyvonne died in November 1967. She was just eight years old.
