Here's our new project video trailer. It's a short summary of some of the incredible stories we've been hearing over our past month of filming in Pangnirtung, Resolute Bay and Iqaluit.

Over the next couple of months, we'll be working through the footage, and will be posting full interviews and edited thematic videos here on our project website for you to enjoy. Please stay tuned - we promise to bring you some of the most compelling Inuit-focused climate change discussion available.

Our crew will be meeting Zacharias in his home community of Igloolik in August to continue shooting. In September, we'll be heading to Arviat, the most southern Inuit community in Nunavut, and that will complete our Canadian shoot.

We've been invited by the United Nations to present our video work at the upcoming Copenhagen climate change negotiations, and we'll be heading there in December to document and present. So, over the next year, we'll have some amazing footage to share with you as the project unfolds.

Importantly, we want to engage and interact with you, so please connect with us here on IsumaTV. Write comments, post videos, or comment directly by video blogging from your computer. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly: ianmauro@uvic.ca

All the best from our crew. Take care.

      Polar Bears Cannot Be In Danger

      uploaded by: Ian Mauro

      channel: Ian Mauro

      Inuit we've spoken with believe that nanuuit - polar bears - are increasing in abundance. The stories of elders clearly indicate that in the past this great animal was not seen often, but when it was, it was a very special event. In Inuit society, the bear is revered for its intelligence, strength and importance within the foodchain.… Read more

      From the stone to digital age in a human lifetime

      Zach said to me this spring that "In my lifetime, I've gone from the stone age to the digital age". This is the video to prove it. See our crew in action as we coordinate our project between Winnipeg, a campsite miles outside of Igloolik, and Saudi Arabia using satellite and internet technology. Arguably this is the first indigenous broadcast from "the land" ever done.
