Profile

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).

    The "Forbidden Window"

    uploaded by: Ian Mauro

    channel: More Voices on Inuit Knowledge & Climate Change

    An important concept we've heard in some of our interviews with elders is about "the forbidden window". In the past, children were told not to touch or eat ice off the window of the qammaq. These windows were made of animal stomach, either bearded seal or walrus. The stomach would be stretched thin and you could see clear through it when placed properly in a frame.… Uqalimakkanirit
