Levi Barnabas was born 24 January 1964 in Igloolik, Nunavut, Canada. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Northwest Territories in 1995 and served until Nunavut was created in 1999. Barnabas served as the first Speaker in the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut.

In 1999 he was elected to the 1st Legislative Assembly of Nunavut but had to resign in August 2000 after being convicted for sexual assault. The conviction came at the same time as James Arvaluk was charged with assault against his girl friend. He plead guilty and resigned. The two scandals rocked the new government, and sent it plummeting in popular opinion. The resignation led to the first by-election in Nunavut history.

Barnabas ran in the December 2000 by-election but was defeated by Rebekah Williams. He ran again in the 2004 Nunavut election in a hotly contested race and defeated Williams by doubling her vote count.
