Two Pictures of the swearing in of the first elected president of the Nunatsiavut Government. First right shows the swearing in table [John Jararuse, Tony first Minister Tony Andersen, Jim Lyall, NG member for Nain and Minister William Barbour, AgajuKKak for Nain Sarah Erickson.
The ceremony was short with Elder John Jararuse swearing in Jim [see above].
Jim acceptance speech was to the point and humbling to a degree. Jim said there is a hard road ahead if he is to accomplish some the promises he made during the campaign. The speech centred on the social aspects of society with emphasis on youth, elders, job creation and the less fortunate.
Jim quoted from Martin Luther King, quite a change from previous such speeches.
