Asger Rye "Red" Pedersen CM ONu Asgar Rye Pederson , born 1935, Denmark ) is a former territorial-level Canadian politician. In 1953, he got a job in the Canadian Arctic with the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) at Cambridge Bay , Nunavut (then the Northwest Territories ). In the following year, he was sent to Perry River (Kuugjuak ) to assist Stephen Angulalik , the Ahiarmiut Inuit owner of the trading post , with the financial records, inventory and ordering, as Angulalik spoke no English. In 1957, Angulalik sold the Perry River post to the HBC and Pedersen was appointed manager. Angulalik returned to the post after resolving legal problems and worked alongside Pedersen; they became lifelong friends.[1] [2] [3] [4] Lena Pedersen and their grandson, Calvin Pedersen was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut in July 2020.[5] [6]
