The Moravians, an early Protestant group, founded missions on the Labrador coast in the eighteenth century. Serving as a buffer between Indigenous Peoples and the whalers, the Moravians laid the basis for a new society that blended traditional European and Inuit cultures. This film shows a year in the life of the Moravian mission of Nain, and describes some of the stresses the modern world has brought to this isolated Arctic community. Interviewed are a retired teacher, who came with the last European mission, and the first Indigenous Moravian minister. (Telecast in the Man Alive series under the title Band of Brethren.).
