The Torngat Wildlife, Plants and Secretariat held a Tuttusiugiannik Workshop in Nain in September and had a lot of great feedback.
As a part of this, they are hiring a community coordinator to support this year’s Tuttusiugiannik (caribou trip) out of Nain.
This will lead youth into the winter range of the George River herd on a caribou knowledge sharing trip.
They hope to observe and photograph the herd, but no caribou will be harvested due to the hunting ban.
This trip will provide youth that haven’t had the chance to go on a caribou hunt since the ban to gain on-the-land experience and learn traditional skills along the way.
This is a flexible, part-time position starting mid-January and lasting until mid-April.
The ideal candidate for this position is extremely organized, comfortable speaking publicly, and has experience working with youth.
Extensive land-based experience is also an asset for this position, and preference will be given to beneficiaries of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement.
