Takuginai (Look Here) -- Kids' Show
This is the premiere Aboriginal language program in North America directed at children. Takuginai is one of IBC's longest running, best known and most loved programs. The series features the likes of "Johnny" the lemming and other locally made puppets and young hosts. Takuginai educates Inuit children with cultural values such as respect for elders, sharing and patience and having fun in the process. Takuginai also teaches Inuktitut numbers and syllabics. Takuginai was created for the five to seven year-old age group however the show is enjoyed by people of all ages. We have now begun the process of training people to do basic computer animation. Takuginai is a half-hour program produced in Iqaluit with segments also being provided by our other centres. Language: Inuktitut (English voice-over available).

This video is one of a series of clips showcasing TV productions by the Inuit Broadcasting Corporation (IBC) in Nunavut, Canada over the last 30 years. The series of clips are linked on IBC's Nunavut Media Arts Centre (NMAC) fundraising website "Sanavallianiq Isumagijaujunut -- Building for Dreams" launched in September 2012: www.Sanavallianiq.ca or www.Building4Dreams.ca -- Donate Today!

We are raising $8.5 million for this building which will house IBC's production operations, including updated equipment to keep pace with the industry, a studio, film archives and more. The building will also be available to other film, performing, and media artists and organizations in and outside of Nunavut.

The video clips include some past programs and the following programs currently broadcast in the Inuit language (with English subtitles or overdubs) on the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN):
