Tullaugaq is recognized as being one of the foremost practitioners of the Katajjak form of throat singing, performing internationally at many venues,[2] such as the Mariposa Folk Festival. She is cited by Gregory as being one of the most respected and accomplished Katajjak singers today.[3]

It received awards and is recognized as being an excellent example of traditional throat singing and frequently appears on recommendation lists for traditional throat singing.[5][6]

Tullaugag is an elder in her community.[7]
