This week Nunatsiavut communities are celebrating the National Indigenous Peoples Day virtually.
We contacted each of the DHSD’s along the coast to see what activities they have planned for this year.
Terri Winters is the Mental Health and Addictions Worker in Hopedale.
She says they started daily online challenges yesterday and will be going on until Saturday, June 20th.
The challenges can be posted on the Hopedale DHSD page.
Winters says the challenge for today is throat singing, and tomorrow’s challenge is what makes you proud to be Inuk.
Friday’s challenge will be traditional dress contest, and on Saturday is share your traditional recipe.
She would like to add that there will also be daily prize draws and to remind everyone to be social distancing while doing the challenges.
