Indian Islands Reunion -- an Archival Special

2012-02-19T15:10:28Z

Notre Dame Bay's Indian Islands was once a thriving community. But like so many others in the '50s and '60s, it was abandoned. Indian Islanders resettled.

But for one very special weekend in 1988, the Islanders came home. Hundreds flocked to the Indian Islands reunion, young and old alike. They pitched tents where old homesteads used to be. They met old friends, relatives...they reminisced, remembered...and they celebrated a past way of life.

In this archival special, Land and Sea takes you back to the Indian Islands reunion. Thirty years after the community had been abandoned.

Bill Kelly hosted Land and Sea in Newfoundland and Labrador for eight seasons, in the flamboyant fashion that was uniquely his. He was hosting in 1990, the year of the worst cuts to the CBC this province has ever seen.

Programs were cancelled, including Land and Sea, and viewers all over Newfoundland and Labrador were enraged.

So was Bill Kelly.

Despite fighting his own battle with heart disease, Bill spearheaded the fight to save the show he loved. And he won.

The Mummer Man

2011-12-04T19:03:53Z

Alan Young first started mummering when he was eight years old. He's almost 79 now, and he's still mummering. Alan's missed only one Christmas, and that was the year he was in hospital with a broken leg.

Alan can remember when mummers were so numerous in Twillingate, you'd have to wait to get in a house...wait until the first batch of mummers had left. Back then, people mummered throughout the whole Christmas season...from Boxing day, till Old Christmas day.

It's a treasured tradition Alan refuses to get go of....a tradition he still keeps alive in Twillingate. For the pure love of it.

Alan Young is the undisputed mummer man. One of Twillingate's greatest Christmas gifts.
