Starting fire with gunpowder

In the early 1970s, improved satellite technology made television available to remote arctic communities. Its arrival marked a new and potentially dangerous era of contact for the Inuit people--the new medium brought increased exposure to a language and culture vastly different and threatening to their own. That threat still exists today, but it has been lessened. The Inuit have ingeniously turned television into an instrument for preserving their language, values and traditions, and a voice with which to address their social and political concerns.

Through documentary, drama, animation and children's programs, IBC helps keep Inuit culture and language alive. Its directors and producers make compelling television on ever-shrinking budgets. Their story is told by Inuk filmmaker Ann Neekitjuk Hanson who noticed that "the first thing that happens in a revolution is the takeover of the radio and television stations". This program explores how Inuit television is a critical element in the creation of a modern Inuit nation in Canada's Arctic."

That the IBC has helped keep the Inuit culture and language is irrefutable: documentary, drama, animation and children's programs record traditional practices and techniques, recreate legends, re-enact problems that afflict the stability of Inuit family life, and create Inuit role models, all in the native Inuktitut language. That the IMC is assisting in the formation of a broader political identity is also beyond doubt - (this video) explores how Inuit television has become a critical element in the creation of a modern Inuit nation in Canada's Arctic.""
