Private Labrador Inuit Cultural Immersion with an Elder

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.
