A year after her mother was sentenced to prison for defrauding Inuit organizations to help pay for her education, an Ontario woman went public for the first time about the case — and Jordan Archer’s story has again stirred up anger and frustration among Inuit.
Archer, formerly Nadya Gill, spoke to the Toronto Star earlier this month about her mother Karima Manji’s admission of guilt and conviction in a Nunavut courtroom last year, and how the case derailed Archer’s own life and career.
Archer’s story has aroused little sympathy in Nunavut, however, where many Inuit feel she and her twin sister Amira Gill still owe them an apology. The two sisters had originally been charged along with their mother, but the charges against the twins were ultimately dropped in early 2024 when Manji pleaded guilty and took “full responsibility for the matters at hand.”
That Star piece is disgusting, that lying monster is no victim.
