Ûssarĸak K'ujaukitsoĸ was the son of K'ujaukitsoĸ K'ujaukitsoĸ and his wife Eĸilana. His grandfather was Inukitsupaluk K'ujaukitsoĸ (1890-1967),^[3] who participated in expeditions by Robert Edwin Peary, Knud Rasmussen and Lauge Koch^[4] and was the son of K'ujaukitsoĸ and his wife Aimainalik.^[5] On 15 February 1970, he married the economist Inger Kristiansen and the couple had one son Vittus Qujaukitsoq, who had been Greenland Minister of Finance (2013–2014) and of Business, Labor, Trade and Foreign Affairs (2014–2017).

Ûssarĸak K'ujaukitsoĸ went to school in Qaanaaq and was trained as a salesman in Aasiaat in 1964. In 1966 he left Greenland to visit the commercial school in Ikast, Denmark. After a year he returned to Aasiaat, then to Qaanaaq, where he finally worked as a warehouse manager. He witnessed the crash of a B-52 near Thule Air Base in 1968 at a close range, which became his life-defining political issue along with the 1953 American expulsion from his birthplace for the construction of Thule Air Base. In 1971 he was first elected to the council of the community Qaanaaq, where he sat for many years, partly as vice mayor. From 1984 to 1995 he sat in Inatsisartut.^[6]
