In 2021, Tulugarjuk's Nunavut Independent Television Network launched Uvagut TV became Canada's first national Indigenous-language television channel. The network is applying to the federal broadcast regulator, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, to be a mandatory part of the coverage in basic TV packages.
As a little girl in the early '80s, Lucy Tulugarjuk said she would spend most of her time playing outside instead of in front of a screen.
Preserving Inuit storytelling has become fundamental, she said, since she described witnessing an erosion of culture when local kids watched TV in English and French: "It did impact our children." If their application is approved at a hearing, which is expected sometime this year, it would require broadcasters across Canada to carry Uvagut TV.
Kuptana described the arrival of southern mainstream media in Inuit communities as "the bomb that kills the people, but leaves the buildings standings" because of the impact the media had on languages. "The dream of Canada has to have authentic space for Indigenous people, Inuit specifically," she said.While Uvagut TV offers almost all of its content in Inuktitut, CBC TV's offering of Indigenous-language programming amounted to about 367 hours from April 2021 to March 2022, according to the national broadcaster.
