Shina Novalinga is an Inuk throat singer who\u2019s using TikTok to show her cultural pride. She\u2019s now gained over 2.3 million followers on the app, and uses her platform for charity and to release a throat-singing album later this year.<\/p>\n

Born in Nunavik, she is now based in Montreal, studying business management. With the extra time she had during the pandemic, she decided to learn more about her Indigenous roots, and tapped into her mother\u2019s knowledge about their shared Inuit culture.<\/p>\n

Novalinga joined TikTok in June 2020, and shares her knowledge about her culture to educate others. Her content varies from throat singing with her mother, to expressing her thoughts about the underrepresentation of Indigenous faces in the media, to correcting myths and biases about her culture.<\/p>\n
