About Qview

Qview was born out of a necessity to provide remote communities a cost-effective media-streaming platform to distribute their content without losing copyright control and ownership.

The first version of Qview is a media-streaming platform hosted at the Qiniq Data Center in Ottawa providing southerners with access to northern content and providing northerners with culturally relevant content optimized for constrained satellite backbones.

As Qview develops with additional partnerships, our intent is to deploy local Qview servers in every community so that locally created content does not have to go over the backbone and can be distributed much more cost-effectively. Furthermore, Qview will be a media outlet where content creators can use web-based tools that we are also developing (such as Qme, an upcoming video conferencing platform) to distribute their content to other Nunavummiut.

Our first partner, the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation, was a catalyst that prompted us to finalize Qview for public use. We see lots of opportunities for local, governmental, and Inuit organizations who want to create uniquely Northern content and reach out to wider audiences.

Broadband Essential for Community Wellness Organization

Uakallanga - Unaaq (Harpoon)

Description: The Unaaq (Harpoon) has many uses for the Inuit, two main uses are for harpooning a catch such as seals at their breathing holes, walruses, whales and other sea and land animals such as caribou. This ancient weapon was also used to make sure the ice is safe, by harpooning the ice you will step on. For many years Inuit made this tool from animal bones and used dried walrus intestines cut up to make rope. Today, Inuit make their harpoons from what is readily available in modern technology such as steep rods for the fore shaft and their heads, the arrow from brass, steel or aluminum. A hunter from Iqaluit, Jerry Ell will take us through the many steps to make a modern harpoon and he will also show us the way he makes an arrow.
