Johannes Lampe is a Canadian politician who served as President of Nunatsiavut, an autonomous Inuit region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Lampe was sworn in as president in May 2016 after being the only candidate for the role. He hopes to preserve the Inuit culture, identity and language. Before becoming president, he served as a member of the Nunatsiavut Assembly for Nain and he served as Minister of Culture, Recreation and Tourism.
