Native community being relocated

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2002

The Innu community in Davis Inlet, Labrador, is being relocated to a new community but not all the homes are ready to be occupied.

About 600 people are moving to Natuashish where there is a new school, a new health center, a new airstrip. Of 133 new homes, 29 won't be completed until next February.

The move is funded by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. Band leaders hope to shed drug abuse and other problems at their new home.
