Amauti

The Amauti has long been used by Inuit to carry their babies in sometimes even when they are over three years old. Women in different regions and smaller areas would make their amauti’s differently. The materials used would be made of animal products such as caribou and sealskin, sometimes birds. These days the modern Amauti is made of fabric and other modern materials such as polyester and wool. In this episode, we will watch an elder from Iqaluit, Annie Nattaq make a child’s amauti with a long back.

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 to Canadians.

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