Nipivut Nunatinnii, Our Voice at Home, the Igloolik community radio, is now online.

And, to kick off the service, filmmaker and newly-elected Qikiqtani Inuit Association board member Zach Kunuk and human rights lawyer Lloyd Lipsett plan to host a series of live call-in talk shows about Baffinland Iron Mines Corp’s mary River project, the Nunavut Impact Review Board’s final hearings in July and Inuit human rights May 7 to 15.

You can see the schedule on its Facebook page here or on the Isuma TV website.

Online you can listen live to the radio or to previously-recorded radio shows.

The radio will air Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and again from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m..

On Saturdays, you can listen in from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.,
 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and
 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.,

And on Sundays the radio operates from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m..

The radio project is a spin-off of Isuma TV , the ambitious web-based service offering online video material from indigenous filmmakers, financed partly with money from Heritage Canada and Telefilm Canada.
