John Hodgins's picture
I have been the Technical Director for IsumaTV since our launch in 2008. I've managed the growth of the site from a simple video blog to an interactive social networking and OTT VOD platform, as well as acting as lead developer for a variety of Isuma's digital projects. I've travelled extensively in the Canadian Arctic managing installation of IsumaTV MediaPlayers in Igloolik, Pangnirtuq and Iqaluit. More recently, I developed the technology and helped launch Uvagut TV, Canada's first national Inuktut television channel.See more

    Gjoa Haven is a Low Bandwidth High Cost internet community. Internet service is 150 times behind southern Canada in cost-per-MB. To overcome this handicap NITV installs local server Mediaplayers to deliver high speed media to slow speed users, and broadcasts our internet films and videos to home TV.

    The Haida community page is dedicated to telling stories from the Haida perspective. Working in the communities of Skidegate and Old Massett, this page was possible through the Haida Script Development Project, a collaboration between the Council of the Haida Nation, the UBC School of Regional and Community Planning, and NITV (Nunavut Independent Television Network).

  • Cast and Characters

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    Atanarjuat was cast entirely with Inuit actors from Igloolik.

    The cast were a mix of experienced and newly-initiated actors. Natar Ungalaaq as Atanarjuat, and Paul and Mary Qulitalik as Qulitaliq and Nuriuniq, for example, have previous credits in Claude Masson's Kabloonak, CBC's Trial at Fortitude Bay and Turner Broadcasting's Glory and Honor.

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    The sets for Atanarjuat were all authentic Inuit dwellings, made from traditional natural materials such as ice blocks, animal skins, rocks, sod, and snow. Igloos, for instance, were crafted from real snow blocks - not styrofoam as in some Southern productions about life in the Arctic!

  • Qamutik

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    In the film, this qamutik (sled) belongs to Atanarjuat. It is made of caribou antlers and bone carefully laced together with sinew cord. Water is drizzled on the runners until it freezes, then made slick with a scrap of fur so that travel over the ice and tundra is swift and smooth.

  • Hunting Tools

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    In the film, this set of hunting tools is made of intricately laced bone and sinew.

    The forked kakivak (fish spear) requires impeccable hand-eye coordination and timing.

    The unaaq (spear) can be used hunt a variety of animals, such as polar bear, seal, walrus, beluga, and narwhal.

  • Props

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    The filmmakers assembled a group of talented local artisans to re-create the props used in Atanarjuat.

    They were led by head prop-maker and artistic director James Ungalaaq, an internationally renowned Inuit sculptor from Igloolik whose work is in numerous museum collections of Inuit art worldwide

  • Raven Parka

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    This parka is worn by the original camp leader and shaman Kumaglak. His murder in the presence of the Evil Shaman, Tungajuaq, sparks the bloody feud between Atanarjuat and Oki's families. The raven feathers sewn on the skin of the parka indicate that the man wearing it is a shaman.

  • Oki's Hood

    uploaded by: IsumaTV

    channel: Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner)

    This winter nasaq (hood) was worn by Oki in the film. Made of wolf fur, the hood has long tentacle-like strips encircling the neck, the effect of which is to make Oki look fiercer and meaner.
