The Beothuk Institute and Our Ties to the Beothuk Interpretation Centre at Boyd's Cove
The Beothuk Institute was incorporated at St. John’s in 1997. Its formation was initiated by artist Gerry Squires. His vision of a lone Beothuk woman standing strong and proud against an oncoming storm near Exploits Island inspired him to create a statue to commemorate the Beothuk. Initially the Beothuk Institute raised the funds for this project and Squires’ statue – “The Spirit of the Beothuk” – now stands on the grounds of the Boyd’s Cove Beothuk Interpretation Centre.
We are a provincially incorporated, non-profit organization run by volunteers. We lobby and provide support for projects that will help advance our purpose.
Our Mission is to create, maintain and enhance public knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the Beothuk People and their prehistoric ancestors, and to initiate, support and/or encourage projects commensurate with this aim.

Support is Needed
