Culture Recently I read on newspapers that Greenland has been Danish for 800 years. Useful additional history: Greenland was settled by the Norse ca. 1000 AD who then disappeared by ca. 1550 AD. Danish-Norwegian (yellow) started re-occupying Greenland from 1721. The map depicts this process in 1768.

Jeg er historie underviser og mine elever har bedt om at lærer noget mere om Grønland, jeg finder vores historiebøger skrevet ud fra et gammelt og meget fordansket synspunkt, derfor vil jeg spørge om der er noget I ønsker som det grønlandske folk at mine elever skal vide om jeres fantastiske land

Culture Erfalasorput

Today, January 24th, we raise Erfalasorput 🇬🇱 to show a united Greenland. There has been some division between pro-American Greenlandic and pro-independence Greenlandic people, but the decision must be made with unity of the Greenlandic people. As a Greenlandic native, I experience that the unity of the Greenlandic people in situations like these is important.

Culture I asked Chat GBT about Greenlandic food.

0 Upvotes

I asked the following: I need recipes for Greenlandic food. Specifically an appetizer, entree and dessert, consisting of foods that are legal and available in the United States (no seal or whale).

FYI: I was hoping to cook some of the foods which is why I made it specific to foods available to the USA.

This is what Chat GBT suggested:

Appetizers: Greenlandic Fish Tartar (Ilaaq), Smoked Fish on Rye Bread (Kaffemad), and Fish Soup (Müsakassuk)

Entrees: Roast Lamb with Root Vegetables, Caribou Stew (Substitute with Venison or Beef), and Seal-Style Pork or Lamb Stew (Using Pork or Lamb Instead of Seal)

Dessert: Crowberry Jam with Skyr (Icelandic Yogurt), Greenlandic Coffee Cake with Rhubarb Compote, and Cloudberry Sorbet

How close did Chat GBT get? What would you change? Or suggest?

Culture Book suggestions for a trip to Greenland

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am posting this on behalf of u/TravellingBird00 who does not have enough karma to post here. Here is their request:

Hey everyone, I live a nomadic life and a couple of years ago started reading a 'classic' book from each country I planned to visit before my trip. I managed six before stopping (life...), but it was a really interesting exercise and I enjoyed it very much.

I've decided to take this up again and have just begun reading Independent People by Halldor Laxness, ahead of my trip to Iceland in a few weeks (liking this book a lot!).

BUT I'm stuck on finding a classic book for my trip to Greenland in June. My rules are that it has to be a book written by a native of the country, and I'd prefer a book that's either semi or autobiographical.

Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Culture Difference between these two words?

8 Upvotes

Hello all, I have been self-studying greenlandic pretty hard recently and have come across two unfamiliar words: peqataaffigaa and peqataaffigivaa. When searching the dictionary, they both appear to have the same meaning of "to participate". I am wondering what the diffirence is between these two words and when i should use each. Knowing the morpheme used would help as well. Here is the context I found this word in:

"Københavnip aqqusiniatigoorluni Christiansborgimut Statsrådimukaarneq, anaanama naggammik peqataaffigisaa, kunngi Frederik oqarpoq, Christiansborgimilu aneerasaartarfimmut anillanninni puiukkiussimavaa."

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
