Topics covered in the past included a wide range of “things on people’s minds” including parenting, health care, language, Inuit knowledge, climate change, and sled dog slaughter among them. Qanuq Isumavit invites viewers to participate by phoning or emailing - to ask questions, disagree with the guest’s view, offer a comment or just air their views.

Segment 1: The phone in show is about the 60’s dog team slaughter. To force relocation of the Inuit people into communities, the RCMP destroyed dog teams removing their main means of transportation.
The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, established in Canada's territory of Nunavut, has been producing Inuit language video, by, for and about Inuit since 1981. This video is from their collection and has been made available on the Internet for your enjoyment through funding provided by the Government of Canada and the Government of Nunavut.
