The Alianait! arts festival in Nunavut is being streamed live on the internet on Isuma.TV every night this week beginning at 7 pm. From the festival website:
The Alianait Arts Festival is an annual event in its fourth year. No less than ten days (and nights) of art, music, film, storytelling, circus arts, dance and theatre. Alianait is an Inuit expression of joy and celebration and to celebrate our fourth annual festival, the theme for Alianait 2008 is String Games - an ancient Inuit tradition.

Please correct spelling in title. The territory is spelled Nunavut, not Nunavit.
On a related note, I was in Quebec City this past weekend, and caught DOMAGAYA, which celebrates pan-Aboriginal cultures and the digital arts.
The spelling has been corrected - thanks for pointing it out.
