The OKalaKatiget Society, in english means "People who talk or communicate with each other", was incorporated in 1982. Stationed in Nain, Labrador the Society provides a regional, native communication service for the people on the North Coast and the Lake Melville region of Labrador. People have come to rely on the Society for information and entertainment via radio and television. A primary part of our mandate is to preserve and promote the language and culture of the Inuit within the region.

We are a non-profit, registered charitable organization, funded since 1984 by the Department of Secretary of State, now called Department of Canadian Heritage. Funding for staff trainers is typically provided by Human Resources Canada and Labrador Inuit Pathways on a non-sustaining basis. The Society continues to seek alternate funding, explore ways in which it can diversify its funding base, and enters contracts with outside and/or local organizations to produce special projects.
Staffing of the OK Society includes an eight (8) member Board of Directors, including a three (3) member executive. Also, eleven (11) production and administrative staff members.
Both radio and television departments have recieved awards from the National Aboriginal Communications and The Inuit Broadcasting Corporation for quality in daily programming and documentary feature reporting in radio. Best First Language programming was also awarded to television.
