Tageq was not successful. The action that Tageq take had even made the people even angrier. The criteria are to let other people realize that what they are doing is wrong, they should realize the issue of environmental impacts and the indigenous women and girl problem. But people still did not realize the problems, they just kept on doing what they do.  We still call Tanya an agent of change because she was the one that step forward to try to make people change.

People began posting “sealfies” — pictures of themselves wearing sealskin or eating seal meat. They did not stop to harm the seals, but they continue to hunt the seals. The image that Tageq posted had outraged some animal rights activists, who directed online abuse and threats towards Tagaq. People did not change. Some of them care more about the seals than the women issues.

She uses her music to show protecting the planet and respecting women's rights. In 2014, she won the Polaris Music Prize for her album Animism. This album is about rape. Rape of women, rape of the land, rape of children, despoiling of traditional lands without consent. Tagaq portrait of a violent world in crisis, hovering on the brink of destruction. It is a show of protest that links lack of respect for women’s rights to lack of respect for the planet, to lack of respect for Indigenous rights. This album shows that women can be powerful and can sometimes stronger than men. In 2020 she provided narration in the music video for "End of the Road", a protest song about the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women.

Tanya Tagaq was an experimental vocalist and artist. In 2014, Ellen Degeneres donated $1.5 million to the Humane Society of the United State. This is an outspoken critic of the Canadian seal hunt. People started to post pictures of "sealfies" as a counter-response. Tageq posted a picture of her young daughter lying beside a dead seal on Twitter. some animal rights activists,  online abuse, and threats towards Tagaq.  In her Polaris Music Prize acceptance speech, she said, "I had that scroll of 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women and that’s just in Canada over the last 30 years — and you’re freaking out over some seals. It’s terrifying to the bone that people would care more about that, and I don’t even know how to deal with it.". This has made Tageq decided to let people know that women are important and there are women rights.

Tanya is trying to tell us to respect the rights of women.

She speaks out the issues of the nation’s missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls and the environmental impacts of colonialism.
