	Aboriginal peoples in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aboriginal peoples in Canada are indigenous peoples recognized in the Canadian Constitution Act, 1982 as the Indians (First Nations), Métis, and Inuit.
		National representative bodies of Aboriginal peoples in Canada include the Assembly of First Nations for the First Nations, the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami for the Inuit, and the Métis National Council and Congress of Aboriginal Peoples for the Woodland and Other Métis.
		The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was an important commission undertaken by the Government of Canada in the 1990s.

	Decision CRTC 99-42
		APTN will offer a high-quality, general interest television service with a broad range of programming that reflects the diverse perspectives of Aboriginal peoples, their lives and cultures.
		APTN committed to broadcast programming that "will reflect an appropriate balance among the needs of all Aboriginal people, including First Nations, Inuit and Metis" and is relevant to all regions of the country.
		APTN asked to be distributed on a mandatory basis as part of the basic service of Class 1 and Class 2 distribution licensees pursuant to section 17(5) of the Broadcasting Distribution Regulations (the regulations), and by DTH distribution licensees pursuant to section 37(b) of the regulations.

		APTN is in full agreement the government that these public policy objectives "are first and foremost cultural." APTN exists, first and foremost, to fulfill a cultural mandate granted to it by the CRTC.
		Although the Aboriginal population was proposed as the core target audience of APTN, the network committed itself to attracting a mainstream audience as well, creating a bridge between cultures to foster understanding among all Canadians.
		APTN budgets only $250,000 per year for this purpose: and yet it is clear that translation of programming represents an important strategy for making a wealth of material accessible to a larger audience in Canada and internationally.

	Aboriginal TV Launched
		Aboriginals were pigeonholed into one of two North American stereotypes: savages or sidekicks.

	The Development of Aboriginal Broadcasting in Canada
		Early in the game, when southern television began to bombard the airwaves in northern communities, Canada’s Aboriginal people made the connection between cultural survival and the ownership and control of media.
		It has provided Aboriginal artists, writers, actors and producers with the skills and the means to bring Aboriginal people their own images and messages—through documentaries, dramas, children’s series, educational programs, news, current events and even cooking shows.
		APTN’s position on the channel grid in southern parts of Canada forces Canadians to surf up to Channel 55 and beyond in order to find programming produced by Aboriginal people.

		Consequently, this placement of APTN has rendered the service out of reach on many older television sets, which typically only go up to channel 69, or in the case of much older television sets, channel 36.

		It is hopefully the beginning of a relationship that will help Aboriginal Peoples in Canada tell their story to all Canadians in a manner that reflects our cultures, languages, history and beliefs -- in the languages and on a medium that are different and extend the reach of our storytelling beyond our own network.
		APTN and OMNI both recognize that our alliance represents a unique cooperative effort with enormous benefits that reach beyond our respective organizations." "Both OMNI and APTN are deeply involved in providing television services for audiences that are of a specific, special nature," says Sole.
		For example, stories of Aboriginal Peoples may be told in Mandarin or Polish on OMNI Television while stories of Italian or Japanese people might be revealed on APTN.

	Aboriginal Voices in the Arts and Media
		For untold thousands of years, the only form of transmitting ideas and information in Aboriginal communities was via the oral tradition.
		Aboriginal writers such as Lee Maracle, Richard Wagamese and others have elbowed their way into the fiercely competitive world of publishing, while Native-owned and operated publishers such as Pemmican Books and Theytus Press are showing how control of media and public exposure go hand in hand.
		With Aboriginal radio networks, the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (launched in 1999 on first-tier cable service) and the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami Web site (launched in summer 2002), Aboriginal people are finally getting to tell their own stories to their own people—as well as bringing First Peoples perspectives to the larger Canadian society.

	Sarah Efron - Journalist
		Kunuk is joining other filmmakers and politicians in Nunavut to speak out against the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network's new policy of asking producers to dub their programming into other languages instead of subtitling them.
		The issue flared up after APTN sent out a request for proposals asking for new dramas, children's shows and series to be dubbed into more than one language: For example, an Inuktitut drama would be dubbed into English and French, while a French series would be dubbed into English and Inuktitut.
		He says the expectations for the aboriginal broadcaster are extremely high, and everywhere he goes, native people all want the same thing: to see more of their own culture on the TV screen.
