History
Greenland's history would read something like this: 'Nothing much happened, nothing much happened, nothing much happened. A couple of blokes arrived but left pretty much straight away. Several decades went past - nothing much happened - and then another bloke with red hair arrived and stayed a bit longer but then after that, for about four centuries, things got really quiet and nothing much happened.' As an historical entity Greenland lacks the Grand Narratives: it's light on when it comes to all-out bloody wars, pukka colonels with muttonchop whiskers, tinpot dictators, throne-wrestling and other Shakespearian dramas. (You just know Merchant and Ivory won't be making a film of Greenland's history any time in the near future.) The lack of big dates and bloody wars can be put down two things: a minuscule population spread over a vast area; and the effort of surviving under hostile conditions which left precious little time for politicking. Greenlandic history is something of a slippery beast; an amalgam of legendary sagas, anecdotal evidence, scientific fact, and supposition. Best guesses are that, 5000 years ago, there were two distinct tribes that either melted into each other or sequentially died out, although not much is known about either of them. They were followed by the Saqqaq tribe of which a little more is known because they left behind a plethora of artefacts that were subsequently dug up and fussed over by the archaeologists. Scientific data and hypotheses have failed to explain why they also died out.

Arctic Culture
Inupiaq, Yup'ik and Kalaalit
Traditional Arctic culture resembles a scattered family, due to social, linguistic, economic and spiritual similarities across more than 5,000 miles of Arctic coast and tundra . This culture region borders the Subarctic culture region. The Arctic forebears probably trekked from Eurasia eastward across Alaska and northern Canada to Greenland. Arctic peoples learned to adapt to one of the harshest environments on Earth and subsisted for millennia on resources drawn from sea and land. Previous to the advent of European influence, numerous bands came into routine contact, principally for trade. In Alaska, these peoples are known as Inupiaq and Yup'ik ( Eskimo ); in Canada and Greenland, they are Inupiaq and Kalaalit (Inuit), respectively.* Non-Arctic peoples racially and ethnically related to the Eskimos are the Aleuts Inupiaq of Alaska These natives hold the distinction of living the farthest north of any aboriginal people in the world. Although their language is similar to that of the Yup’ik, the Inupiaq are more closely related to their counterparts in Canada and Greenland. Their main language (Inupiaq) spans from Norton Sound on the west coast of Alaska, across northern Alaska to Canada and Greenland, where it is called Inuktitut. Although there are dialectical variations, Inupiaq Alaskans and Greenlanders can communicate with each other. Much of the year, Inupiaq tundra territory is frozen and ocean ice is continuous from the northern Alaskan shore across the North Pole. Skilled hunters, these short, weather-hardened people possess an intuitive grasp of their environment and a profound regard for the sea, land and living things.

Greenland is blessed with a peaceable people that has never waged war with anyone, and people generally show great openness to visitors.
The population of Greenland is predominantly Inuit, a people bearing an affinity and solidarity with the Inuits of Canada, Alaska and Siberia. It is only 140 years since the last immigration from Canada took place.
The Greenlandic people are few in number: 56,000 in an enormous country. Approx. 20 percent of the population was born outside Greenland.
Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but since the introduction of Home Rule in 1979 Greenland has moved towards relative independence based on parliamentary democracy.
Today fishing is the all-dominating trade and accounts for 95 percent of total exports, but in the hunter districts of the outer areas, the seal and whale catch is of great importance. It actually forms the stable existence for one fifth of the Greenlandic population. For millennia the philosophy has been to live at one with nature. The hunters live with nature and follow the natural seasons.
In South Greenland ruins from the norse (viking) settlers 1,000 years ago are well preserved, including the ruins of the first Christian churches on the North America continent.

Greenland Culture Although modern life has well and truly caught up with the Inuit in the form of warm-climate foods, computers, luxury cars and outboard motors, as little as 40 years ago Greenlanders were still practicing a traditional way of life that revolved around the hunt. They believed that humans were shades - more of the dead than of the living - and it was only the techniques and rituals of the hunt that kept them within the realm of the human. Any error in judgement would mean falling back into the earlier animal world. Harmony with the land, respect for the dead and due homage to the animals that sacrificed themselves for the good of humanity, were the hallmarks of a good hunter and kept the world from falling off its axis. Inuit folklore also told of a time when men could speak to animals; the words were shamanistic in character and delivery and held a tengeq or intrinsic power. If the words were uttered heedlessly they immediately lost their power. This belief may account for the Inuit's almost legendary reluctance to indulge in idle chitchat. Their brevity makes most non-Inuits look bold and brash. Tupilak , once carved out of bone, skin and chunks of peat, are small grotesque-looking figures that wouldn't look out of place in an Evil Dead film. They originally worked as catalysts for misfortune and death, although the carver had to be careful that the victim's juju was weaker than his own to avoid a fatal backlash. These days

The largest island in the world, with one of the smallest populations: Greenland is a world where completely different dimensions apply. Dominating its entire landscape, environment and lifestyle is the ice cap stretching down from the North Pole, up to 2 million years old and 3 km thick in places, a magical symbol of nature's purity and power. Ice both covers Greenland and shapes it, calving gigantic icebergs into dramatic and intricate fjord systems that, aeons ago, it also carved out. And the glacier has shaped the people who live around it, self-sufficient and in harmony with nature. Rich, colourful and thriving, lnuit culture includes a strong handicraft tradition using local materials, ornate costumes, ancient dances and songs, and the basic survival tasks: hunting and kayaking. lnuit culture in Greenland is both ancient and new: Europeans first saw their east' coast settlements late last century, when the last wave of lnuit crossed the pack ice from Canada. Greenland was first settled - and named - by Europeans when Erik the Red sailed from Iceland in 982, to the southern part where Viking ruins are still found. From there, his son Leif the Lucky and other explorers ventured on to visit America, 500 years before Columbus. The Norse settlement disappeared around 1500. In the year 2000, Greenland will be celebrating Leifs voyages, and replicas are being built of a Viking church and farmhouse in Qassiarsuk, where he lived. For all its ice and rock, in places Greenland is rich in vegetation unencroached upon by modern man, and thriving wildlife. Whales sport and blow in its waters, seals bask and swim along the shores, and arctic species such as reindeer and musk oxen thrive inland. Millions of sea birds fill the skies, as well as majestic birds of prey.

EAST GREENLAND
There are only two towns, a smattering of villages and the world’s largest national park on the 1,600 mile long East Coast of Greenland. There are both historical and natural reasons for this very sparse settlement. People have indeed lived in East Greenland for certain periods during the last several thousand years, but the wide belt of field ice has made this area very isolated—both from the rest of Greenland and from the rest of the world! Indeed, the first Europeans to visit came just over a hundred years ago and this separation from others is clearly reflected in the different language and culture of the region compared to the rest of Greenland. The mythical inspiration derived from its traditional culture is expressed clearly both in the region’s handicrafts and in the figures carved from tusk and bone. The handicrafts of East Greenland are generally of a very high quality and in great demand. The far north town of Ittoqqortoormiit (Scoresbysund) and the National Park are not often visited by tourists. In fact, there is no admission to the National Park except for the locals and the town has now only 550 inhabitants and few services. The main tourist areas in East Greenland are the town of Ammassalik (Tasiilaq) and the nearby village of Kulusuk where the airport is located. Kulusuk is a very popular one-day excursion for tourists visiting Iceland due to its proximity. The tours we offer to East Greenland start and end in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami Our 5000 Year History o ur heritage cultural unity cultural origins ... Land Claims Inuit of Canada Unity of Culture and Language As Inuit we divide ourselves into two closely related groups based on language, environmental factors and certain cultural features. The first is the Yupik who occupy coastal southwestern Alaska, Nunivak and St. Lawrence islands and a small sector of the southeastern Chukchi Peninsula. There are approximately 25,000 Yupik living in Alaska and 1,300 in Russia. Although the Yupik language has the same origin as ours, it is not understood by Inuit. Besides language there are many other cultural features that distinguish Yupik from Inupiat and Inuit. The second group includes the Inupiat of north Alaska and eastern Russia, the Inuit of Canada, and the Inuit of Greenland. Of these 152,000 Inuit, 2,000 live in Russia, 50,000 in Alaska, 45,000 in Canada and 55,000 in Greenland. Although certain differences in culture and language should be expected over such a vast expanse of Arctic territory, one of the truly amazing aspects of our culture is the extent of similarity from one group to another as you travel from the eastern shore of Greenland west across what is now Canada and Alaska to the shores of Siberia.

It was a memorable trip. We learned a lot about a culture we knew little of before. Thank you. ARCTIC CULTURE Cultures of the North The people native to the coastal regions of Labrador, Greenland, The Northwest Territories, Alaska and northeastern Siberia, have many cultural traits in common that differ from those of adjacent Indian tribes. The word "Eskimo" comes from eskipot, an Algonquian word meaning "an eater of raw flesh." Some Eskimos feel this attribution puts them in a poor light with modern audiences and prefer to use other terms. The most widely used is "Inuit" which really refers specifically to the Eskimos of the eastern Canadian Arctic. In the Bering Sea region, Eskimos prefer to be called "Yup'ik," while the North Slope Alaska Eskimos prefer "Inupiat" and Mackenzie Delta Eskimos prefer "Inuvialuit." (The word "Eskimo" will be used occasionally to refer to all native Arctic people.) Physically Eskimos belong to the Mongoloid stock, with dark eyes, strait black hair, and brownish skin. Generally, they tend to be short, stocky people with small feet and hands and relatively short limbs. Their faces are fleshy with a large lower jaw and a low bridged nose. They frequently display the epicanthic eye fold that indicates their comparatively recent Asian origin (more recent than that of the American Indian.) Their facial characteristics and bodily proportions, along with an elevated basal metabolism, reveal a degree of genetic response to the cold environment. However, it was their traditional high-fat diet and the highly insulated clothing they wore, which more greatly contributed to their success in the Arctic.
