This is the premiere aboriginal language program in North America directed
at children. 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 5 to 7 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
