Qview is a media-streaming platform that enables creators to effectively deliver video into satellite dependent communities without losing copyright control or ownership.

Qview is split into 2 parts named QvCentral (QvC) and QvLocal (QvL).

QvC is hosted in Ottawa and provides southerners with easy access to northern content while providing northerners with a single repository optimized for delivery over all backbone types.

QvL is a community-based server designed specifically for satellite communities. The purpose of QvL is to dramatically reduce backbone congestion and provide a better experience for the viewer at a much lower (or zero) usage consumption.

SSi Canada is proud to be involved with The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation in a pilot project aimed at bringing culturally relevant content, free of charge, to the 3 regional capitals of Nunavut (Cambridge Bay, Rankin Inlet, and Iqaluit)!

Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in having your own streaming channel.

Kakkivak (spear)

For centuries the fish spear known to Inuit as the Kakivak has been in existence. It has assisted Inuit in spearing fish from rivers. This spear would have been made mostly from bone and occasionally driftwood for the long shaft; the point would have been sharper, at times made of rock, but mostly bone. These days there is plenty of wood around, and the point could be made from steel, brass or other hard elements. In this episode we will watch Solomon Awa, a hunter from Iqaluit, originally from Pond Inlet demonstrate the making of a modern Kakivak.
