Kanakaalaq "Kana" Mulimaajit Tukeelat (born 4 March 1969)is a Mavean politician currently serving as a member of Mava Council since the 2014 election. Since 2023, he has served as chairman of the Committee on Administration.

Concrete Mixer Man Case

Kana came to international attention following his arrest on 12 January 2016. He was caught with a concrete mixer, poetry books, glue, and three pigeons, and was arrested and booked for "lewd activity". He was reported to have willingly surrendered himself and his possessions to the police. It was later determined that the equipment used in the event were stolen, with the concrete mixer likely taken from a construction site he was working at. The pigeons were of unknown origin.

Kana's name was revealed publicly for the first time following a court ruling on 11 February 2016. He was brought to trial on 21 February 2016 on charges of endangering wildlife and indecent exposure. Charges of trespassing and misuse of property were also pressed, although theft was dropped after a local school, believed to be the owner of the glue and books, dropped charges.

Mava Council attempted to impeach Kana and remove him from office. However, popular support frustrated attempts and Kana returned to duties in June 2016.

In a blog post on his website, written in September 2016, Kana clarified the details of the event. He claimed that his actions were an "historical inquiry into pre-Christian religions in Mava," with no malice intended. He denied any sexual aspect, saying that he had sought to imitate traditional religious practices.
