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

    uploaded by: John Hodgins

    My goal with this film was to illustrate how the caribou occupied a prominent place in the traditional life of the Inuits of northern Nunavik and in all of Nunavik before the species all but disappeared during the Second World War, or perhaps a little earlier. The virtual disappearance of the caribou meant that the Inuits found them only with great difficulty.… Read more
