Rebekah Uqi Williams is a former territorial level politician. She served as a member of the Nunavut Legislature from 2000 until 2004.
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 plead guilty to assault as well as former Northwest Territories MLA Tommy Enuaraq.[1]
Williams served a partial term in office, and ran for re-election in the 2004 Nunavut general election. Despite increasing her popular vote she easily defeated by Barnabas.[2]
