The Dove Brook Church is more than just a church, it is a significant structure filled with a rich history and heritage that embodies the determination and devotion of Inuit living in Sandwich Bay, Labrador. Traditionally, Sandwich Bay was known as natsitok (Inuttitut for the place of many ringed seals). Many families, who still live in nearby Cartwright, are descended from these Inuit, and continue to maintain their deep connections to the land, waters, and ice all year round.
