The Hebron and Nutak Reunions will provide an opportunity for the remaining able-bodied evictees to return to their homeland together at Hebron and Nutak/Okkak Bay in the summer of 2024. Though the program is short in duration, the impacts will be far-reaching and long-lasting with continued opportunity to return in the future with the descendants and able-bodied evictees. These reunions will provide a healing opportunity for the evictees and those participants who may be impacted by the eviction from Hebron and Nutak.
