Description: The Beothuk Interpretation Centre is a Provincial Historic Site located in Boyd's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history and culture of the Beothuk, the now-extinct Indigenous people who once inhabited the island of Newfoundland.

Unfortunately, the Beothuk population was decimated through a combination of factors, including conflict with European settlers, disease, and a loss of their traditional way of life. The Beothuk Interpretation Centre serves as a place of education, research, and commemoration, providing visitors with an opportunity to learn about the Beothuk people and their rich cultural heritage. The center features exhibits that highlight the history, art, and lifestyle of the Beothuk, as well as the interactions between the Beothuk and European settlers. Visitors to the Beothuk Interpretation Centre can explore displays of artifacts, interactive exhibits, and educational materials that shed light on the Beothuk way of life, their tools, clothing, and artistic traditions. The center also offers guided tours and presentations that delve into the history and legacy of the Beothuk. The site itself is situated in a picturesque location near the shores of Boyd's Cove, providing visitors with an opportunity to appreciate the natural beauty of the area while learning about the Beothuk people.
