Pauloosie Keyootak is a Canadian Inuk politician from Broughton Island, Northwest Territories, now Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, representing the electoral district of Uqqummiut, in a by-election on February 9, 2015.[2] He won the by-election over Niore Iqalukjuak, who had been the second-place candidate behind Samuel Nuqingaq in the 2013 election, and former MLA James Arreak.[2]
Keyootak is a resident of Qikiqtarjuaq.[2] He was formerly a president of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, who was removed from that position in 2000 for reportedly violating the organization's code of conduct, although the organization has never disclosed the nature of the alleged violation.[2] He subsequently served on the municipal council in Qikiqtarjuaq, and on the board of directors of Arctic Co-op.[3]
