I was imagining Nain on a warm summer evening, when the fireweed is in its full glory and the berries are slowly ripening.

The warmth of the sun has carpeted Nain with flowers while the rivers and the mountains lay before and behind.

I thought of Inuit having softly trodden upon this shores before Christianity and how we walk upon this Land today.

The butterfly symbolizes Inuit journies and paths trodden. Of Communal Hope and Understanding.
