Tuk Radio Goes on the Air (CFCT)
1970AD
1950–1983
‘Tuk Radio’ goes on the air, providing local news, weather, childrens’ programs, programs for adults, and a ‘request show’. Father Le Meur hosts the ‘Eskimo Program’, consisting of drum songs, legends, and people’s life histories and experiences, mostly told in Inuvialuktun. He records them around the community and replays them with commentary and English translations.
