The new Illusuak Cultural Centre in Nain, Labrador, offers a space for Labrador Inuit to celebrate their history and culture
HUGGING THE SHORES of Unity Bay in northern Labrador is the Inuit community of Nain in the self- governing autonomous region of Nunatsiavut. Amongst the modest wooden homes and outbuildings, one building on the waterfront stands out: the new Illusuak Cultural Centre.
The sweeping curves of the centre’s exterior walls, finished with spruce wood, echo the meandering shoreline and weathered, rounded mountains that surround Nain. But while the building is unique and modern, it does not feel out of place in this community of just over 1,000 people.
“It was years in the making; we first started talking about building a cultural centre in the 1990s,” says Torngat Mountains National Park Superintendent Gary Baikie. Progress really began, however, following community consultations in 2010, when Labrador Inuit voiced what they wanted to see in such a space.
