A place of warmth: Shelter for Indigenous women and children opens in Stephenville"Ne'ata'q" means "the sun is coming out" in Mi'kmaq. (Colleen Connors/CBC)A new shelter for Indigenous women and children in Stephenville will start providing services in November. Its name, Ne'ata'q Place, comes from the Mi'kmaq word that means "the sun is coming out." Ne'ata'q Place will act as transitional housing, and residents can stay for up to six months. Unlike other transitional houses in Newfoundland and Labrador, Ne'ata'q Place and its operations has $3.6 million in federal funding.
