Historic
Attractions & Museums - Makkovik
|
| Makkovik was first settled in the early part of
the 19th
century by a Norwegian fur trader, Torsten Andersen, and his Labrador
wife, Mary Thomas. By 1896, the settlement had grown enough for the
Moravian Missions to build a church complex that was used until 1948.
Life here has not changed significantly through the centuries. The people
still fish and hunt and carry on many aspects of their traditional
culture. |
