Amanda Ford of Rankin Inlet set-up a beautiful memorial near Itivia in honour of Lynnora Siusangnark, 33, who was found dead in Rankin Inlet on April 26.
Police have released very little information in relation to Siusangnark's death, which is still under investigation.
Residents of Rankin Inlet brought stuffed animals and flowers to the memorial and Ford made 160 red pins and collected donations of both food and money to send to Siusangnark's family in Naujaat.
