Lyall grew up in Taloyoak, known then as Spence Bay, Northwest Territories, one of ten children of Ernie and Nipisha Lyall. He attended Sir John Franklin High School in Yellowknife and then a technology college in Alberta.[1] After returning to Taloyoak, he later moved to Cambridge Bay. In 1975, he was elected to the NWT Legislature. He ran again in the 1979 election, as did his younger brother Bobby Lyall, but the election was won by Kane Tologanak.[1] In 1978, Lyall was elected president of the Ikaluktutiak Co-op in Cambridge Bay, a position he still holds. By 1993, he had helped the Co-op grow from $300,000 in assets to $2.3 million. Later in the 1970s he became a director of Canadian Arctic Producers, a native owned arts and crafts wholesaler. In 1981, he helped form the Arctic Cooperative, a merger between the Canadian Arctic Co-operative Federation and Canadian Arctic Producers.[2] He is the current vice-president and former president of the Arctic Cooperative, a position he has held for several years, and represents the communities of Kugluktuk, Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak, Kugaaruk (all in Nunavut) and Ulukhaktok (Northwest Territories).[3] In 1992, he was awarded the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada Medal and in 1994 he won the National Aboriginal Achievement Award, now the Indspire Awards, for business.[2] In 2003, he was made a member of the Order of Canada in recognition of his work with the Arctic Cooperative.[4] He received the Order of Nunavut in 2015.[5] Lyall was also vice-chair of the Nunavut Implementation Commission.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite web |url=http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/1997-12/dec8_97lyal.html |title=The Lyalls of Taloyoak |access-date=2007-10-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040816154816/http://www.nnsl.com/frames/newspapers/1997-12/dec8_97lyal.html |archive-date=2004-08-16 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 2. ^1 National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation 3. ^Arctic Cooperative 4. ^1 Order of Canada{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 5. ^{{cite web|title=3 new members join Order of Nunavut at Iqaluit ceremony|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/3-new-members-join-order-of-nunavut-at-iqaluit-ceremony-1.3295489|publisher=CBC News|accessdate=22 November 2015}} External links
