The Town of Nain, Labrador, was established in 1771 by Moravian Missionaries and
is the northernmost community in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Nain is about 230 air miles north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Most of the 1000
residents are Inuit, whose ancestors have lived in the area for 7000 years. The
Inuit practice a traditional lifestyle that is virtually unchanged from that of
their ancestors.
Hunting and fishing still form the basic economy as evidenced by the lines of
drying Arctic char and trout, or by bear, seal and caribou skins tacked to sides
of buildings or stretched on frames to dry.
