Tulugarjuk is known for starring in the 2001 film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, for which she won the award for Best Actress at the American Indian Film Festival. In 2015, she acted in the film Maliglutit.
In 2017, she directed her first feature-length film, Tia and Piujuq (Inuktitut: ᑏᐊ ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐱᐅᔪᖅ). The film featured Marie-Hélène Cousineau as producer and Tulugarjuk's daughter in the lead role as Piujuq.

She performs as a throat singer, but in 2014, declined to perform for Nunavut MP Leona Aglukkaq in protest of the government's seismic testing.

In 2016, she also called for the resignation of Aglukkaq's successor as MP, Hunter Tootoo.
