Language Culture and Tourism Virtual Indigenous Day Event

The Department of Language, Culture and Tourism, with the Nunatsiavut Government held a virtual contest for National Indigenous People’s Day.

The contest was for the communities of Nain, Hopedale, Postville, Makkovik, and Rigolet.

Shirley Jararuse is the Language program coordinator for NG.

Jararuse said there were 21 participants along the coast who participated in this event.

2 names were picked out of a bag, and the winners were Peggy Andersen, and Lovey Ford from Nain.

The winners get to choose a $150 gift certificate from Franks, or a gas certificate from Woodwards.

Everyone who participated in this event will receive a free T-shirt.

With the videos that were submitted, they will make an online video and reveal it once done.

Jararuse would like to thank everyone who participated in this.
