Iqaluit (Jan 08/07) - The baby of the family is always the one who seems to get away with murder.

This 15-year-old Inuksuk high school student - daughter of Adamie and Kisa Ipeelie - knows she has it good. Her three older brothers and older sister paved the way.

"I can stay out late, because they already did it," said Ipeelie.

She may be testing those limits as soon as she is old enough as she wants to get a tattoo. Her parents will be ready; they've seen it before.

"On my shoulder, my last name and middle name, in Inuktitut, like my sister," Ipeelie said, explaining her idea.

When she isn't at the Iqaluit youth centre, she can often be found at home in front of her computer. As with most of the youth in the territory, Microsoft Corporation has its hooks in her.

"I use MSN, and I talk to people all over the territory. Usually I ask them what's new and how's the family," said Ipeelie.

She doesn't know what she wants to do when she is done with high school, but who really does in Grade 9?

She does know what she would do to improve Iqaluit.

"We need a lot of things. A place where you can get tattoos and piercings, and a mall," said Ipeelie.

In an interview with Nunavut News/North, MP Nancy Karetak-Lindell urged young women to get involved in politics. Ipeelie sees the wisdom in that idea.

"They should for sure, they can help the town and promote the youth," said Ipeelie.
