Rebekah Uqi Williams (born March 3, 1950) is a Canadian former territorial level politician. She served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut from 2000 until 2004.[1]
Williams was elected in a by-election in the Quttiktuq electoral district on December 4, 2000. She defeated seven other candidates with 21% of the vote including former MLA Levi Barnabas who had previously vacated the seat after he pleaded guilty to assault as well as former Northwest Territories MLA Tommy Enuaraq.[2]
Williams served a partial term in office, and ran for re-election in the 2004 Nunavut general election. Despite increasing her popular vote she was easily defeated by Barnabas.[3]
