Hebron, Labrador

I had the dim recollection from the 1950s that Hebron was the farthest north town in Labrador on Canada's Atlantic shore; confirmed. I discovered that it was a Moravian mission of Inuit (Eskimo) natives. The government, cocerned about crowding, poor health and lack of fuel, closed the store and ordered the village be abandoned in 1959.

Most lived their lives as outsiders unable to support themselves.
