NIRB makes recommendations

September 14th, 2012

NIRB recommends using new media technology to inform, consult and connect Inuit communities in its Final Hearing Report on Baffinland's Mary River Project released September 14, 2012.

The potential of digital media to improve public participation in oral Inuktitut was demonstrated to NIRB by IsumaTV's Digital Indigenous Democracy [www.isuma.tv/DID], a new web portal launched May 2012 by Inuit filmmaker Zacharias Kunuk.
