Sit with a Labrador Inuit elder in Hopedale for a deeply personal, private storytelling and traditional knowledge session inside one of North America's oldest surviving Moravian mission settlements.
What to expect
Walk into the living heart of Hopedale with a Nunatsiavut cultural host who introduces you to a respected community elder. Listen as stories of the land, sea ice, and spirit world are shared in the intimate setting of a community hall or private home. Watch — and try — traditional drum-dancing and throat-singing passed down through generations. Leave with handcrafted Inuit art purchased directly from the artisan, with every dollar supporting the community.
Good to know
Must be coordinated with Nunatsiavut Government well in advance; availability depends on elder scheduling. Group size kept to 2–6 guests for genuine intimacy. The village centre is a short walk from the Hopedale dock.
