Noah Piugattuk was a skilled storyteller. He also was patient with the youth and took the time to understand the younger generation.

In 1992, Zacharias Kunuk wanted to know more about Ayaya songs. He found out that the songs are riddles, because in Inuit culture they cannot say elder's names or direct animal names. Instead of saying "polar bear", they would say "the big white animal".

Noah and his first and second wife have many kids that do not survive. Eventually their Maliki is born, who lives now in Repulse Bay.
