Ipiluni means "she is happy" in Sagt'stun, Aleut. Ipiluni was born in San Pedro, California, raised in a small fishing town called Cordova, Alaska, and settled in Seattle, Washington until recently - when she returned to Los Angeles to pursue her film career. Working in front of the camera as an actor, behind the scenes as a script supervisor, and in the development process as a screenwriter, Ipiluni is advocating for the Native American and autistic communities as an increasingly prominent figure in Hollywood.
