Happy Halloween to everybody in Nunatsiavut.
Tabea Murphy is an elder from Nain; she has information about how Halloween started in Nain.
She says it was back in the days when she used to go to the United States, she first saw people in costumes dressed for Halloween.
When she came back to Labrador, she started dressing her two girls for Halloween.
Murphy says she used to dress her girls with her dresses or their grandmother’s clothing.
Murphy says later on, people started to order their costumes from Sears or Eaton’s catalogues.
Stay tuned to our Sunday Program on Halloween Day to hear Murphy’s story on how it all started in Nunatsiavut.
Please note that this story was previously aired in 2013 where late Maria Harris did the interview with Murphy.
