Ditto on the Mark Zen comments (Maligiaq has been passed from friend to
friend somewhat) that the letter is verifiable.  John Heath was at the
center of the distribution universe for a while.  If someone is still
in doubt you could contact John for final verification.

On pronouncing his name....

My best phonetic impression is ma-lee-gee-ak  (hard gee, like geese, NOT
"gee, I missed the bus")

The end of the sylable is sort of swallowed.  The Greenlandic language
is really hard, but fun to try and learn.  The "ll" is a killer.  You
put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and sort of blow around it.
That combo is in the word for thank you. :)
