<\/p>\n3ci is sharing this important message on the debate over the Baffinland project from a longstanding collaborator, Norman Cohn:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
This Saturday, one day before 120 million viewers will watch the Super\u00a0Bowl live from Tampa, another live television event will unfold in\u00a0Pond Inlet in the Canadian arctic that maybe a few thousand people\u00a0worldwide will be lucky enough to watch.<\/p>\n
All day from 9 in the morning until 9 at night, with short breaks for\u00a0coffee, lunch and dinner, a continuous stream of Inuit men and women,\u00a0elders and youth, unilingual and bilingual, will step up to a\u00a0microphone to say what they think and feel about being bulldozed \u2013 by\u00a0the gigantic multinational Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, their\u00a0own Canadian government, their own Nunavut government and their own\u00a0Inuit Organizations \u2013 to surrender their land, wildlife, culture and\u00a0human rights in order that those bulldozers make an uncountable profit\u00a0at their personal expense.<\/p>\n
I have seen something like this before and can tell you, without\u00a0hyperbole, that you should not miss it. Unforgettable testimonies at\u00a0similar hearings in 2012 are among the most astounding scenes in a\u00a0film we made in 2014 called Ataatama Nunanga (My Father\u2019s Land),\u00a0another show only a few thousand people worldwide ever have seen. This\u00a0film is on iTunes in thirty countries subtitled in six different\u00a0languages if you want to preview Saturday\u2019s show in a \u2018historical\u00a0context.\u2019 https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/movie\/my-fathers-land-ataatama-nunanga-subtitled\/id1462679494<\/p>\n
But this Saturday\u2019s show WILL BE LIVE, happening while and if you\u00a0watch, from a hamlet in the arctic wilderness to wherever you are; and\u00a0on Live Television as dramatic and compelling as the Senate Watergate\u00a0Hearings were live in 1973, as other-worldly and surreal as the Moon\u00a0Landing live in 1969 and as hypnotically horrifying as the Twin Towers\u00a0hit, burning and finally collapsing Live on Television the morning of\u00a0September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n
Instead of being hyped like Sunday\u2019s Super Bowl by weeks of\u00a0advertising before being televised by networks around the globe, this\u00a0Saturday\u2019s Pond Inlet Testimony will appear on Uvagut TV, the world\u2019s\u00a0newest, smallest and most obscure TV network, launched just two weeks\u00a0ago with no outside funding by a small Inuit non-profit, Nunavut\u00a0Independent Television Network (NITV), and the Inuit media arts\u00a0collective ISUMA, both operating out of Igloolik, Nunavut for the past\u00a0thirty years. And no advertising.<\/p>\n
The only way people will know they can watch this is if we tell them.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m telling you now so you can pass it on.<\/p>\n
Uvagut TV is Live on Shaw Direct satellite channel 267 nationally;\u00a0Co-op cable channel 240 in Nunavut and NWT; FCNQ cable channel 308 in\u00a0Nunavut, northern Quebec; and online with English or Inuktitut audio\u00a0feeds.<\/p>\n
