Extractions: by Murray Lundberg Click each of the photos to enlarge them The year 2000 is extremely important to the people of Greenland, as it marks the approximate 1,000th anniversary of the arrival of the first Inuit, and also of Leif Erikkson's journey from Greenland to Canada. Many special ceremonies and projects are underway or planned, and a greatly-increased awareness of the country's history is apparent. Greenland was first inhabited about 4,500 years ago. The earliest residents arrived from the west, but either left or died due to periods of exceptionally cold weather and/or poor hunting. Signs of their presence have been found near Maniitsoq map ). The region seems to have then been uninhabited for about 3,000 years. The next migration came from the east, following "Erik the Red" Thorwaldsson's exploration of the southern coast of Greenland between 982 and 985 AD. In 986, he led a group of Viking families from Iceland, and settled at Brattahlid, traditionally known as Qassiarsuk ( route map ). The climate at this time was very warm, much wamer than it is today, and crops were able to do well. It seems likely that the name "Greenland" was given to the country, not just as wishful thinkful, but because it was a climatic fact at that time.

http://www.greenlandconnection.co.uk/

Extractions: Atassuteqaat Greenland is the world's largest island (more than a million square kilometres), yet with one of the smallest national populations (56,000). The southern point, Cape Farewell, is on a similar latitude to Southern Alaska, Shetland and Helsinki, yet the northernmost point, Oodaaq Island, is closer to the North Pole than any other land on Earth. The population consists mainly of ethnic Inuit (Kalaallit), who have traditionally hunted and fished for their sustenance. In a country where no crops can be grown, nor animals farmed, the Eskimos survive on what they can harvest from the sea, plus a few wild animals like musk-ox, the occasional reindeer, and polar bear. Greenland is in every sense closer to being another planet than perhaps any other country in the world. Internationally known composer Adrian Vernon Fish has had a lifelong affinity with Greenland, and its spectacular and immense ice-scapes. He has made regular visits, giving concerts in many of the isolated settlements, travelling by dog sledge, snow scooter and helicopter. Over the years, Adrian has built up an immense fund of knowledge about the Greenlanders, their culture and traditions. Adrian can make himself available for a variety of visits, from one-off lectures to a complete day of Greenland experience, to ongoing weekly or fortnightly visits, each time spending perhaps an hour giving an insight into the hardy Eskimo life. These combine to bring alive a country that is usually outside most people's realm of experience, bringing it to life through talk, craftwork, photos, videos and working with everyone's natural imagination.

Arctic Culture

http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h994.html

Extractions: Inupiaq, Yup'ik and Kalaalit Traditional Arctic culture resembles a scattered family on account of 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 can be included among those peoples who live closest to the top of the world. Although their language is similar to that of the Yupik, 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.

http://www.scandinavica.com/culture/history/vinland.htm

Extractions: It is commonly believed that Christopher Columbus was the first European to arrive in the New World in 1492. Indeed, Columbus marks the starting point of the mass migration of Europeans to America. However, he was not the first European to set foot in the New World. That happened during the Viking age, 500 years earlier, when Leif Ericson explored new lands west of Greenland in the year 1000 AD. Leif "the lucky" Ericson (*) was the second son of Eric "the Red" Thorvaldson, a Norwegian exiled in Iceland who was the first European to colonize Greenland. Leif was born in Iceland, but moved to Greenland with his family after his father created a settlement there. From Greenland, Leif sailed to the west looking for new land and reached the eastern coast of Canada. Some families followed Leif's route and settled in America temporarily. However, Greenland was at the time a very remote, isolated, scarcely populated colony of Icelanders. Interest on further exploration to the west was eventually lost and Leif's discovery of a far away land remained unknown in most of Europe. The colonization of Greenland and the exploration of America are described in the "Saga of Eric the Red" and the "Saga of the Greenlanders", both written around the year 1200.

http://www.gh.gl/uk/facts/culture.htm

Extractions: Culture and Community Culture Basically, our cultural identity rests on close contact with nature and on traditional sealing and fishing, although only a small number of Greenlanders still live directly on these resources. This is reflected in the old legends, recorded - first and foremost - by the Arctic explorer, Knud Rasmussen, and illustrated in applied art, pictorial art and sculpture. Language Greenlandic/kalaallisut is closely related to the language of the Inuits in Canada and Alaska. Greenlandic belongs to the East-Eskimo family of languages and is a polysyntetic language, ie the meaning-forming sentence elements of other languages are fused into a single word which may be very long. This word may be the equivalent of a whole sentence in one of the ie Scandinavian languages. Church and religion The established church in Greenland is the Danish National Evangelical Lutheran Church. In 1993 Greenland became an independent Home Rule administered diocese with its own bishop. There are other religious communities and sects, including the Catholic Church, the Adventist Community, the Pentecostal Movement and its ramifications, the Bahai Community, Jehovah's Witnesses and others.

The name Inuit means the real people. In 1977 the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, held in Barrow, Alaska, officially adopted Inuit as the replacement for the term âEskimo.â There are several related linguistic groups of Arctic peoples, including the Kalaallit in Greenland, the Inuvialuit in Canada, and the Inupiat, Yupiget, Yuplit, and Alutiit in Alaska. Many of these groups prefer to be called by their specific âtribalâ names rather than as Inuits. In Alaska the term âEskimoâ is still commonly used. II Print Preview of Section III Print Preview of Section From archaeological, linguistic, and physiological evidence, most scholars conclude that the Inuit migrated across the Bering Strait to Arctic North America.
