21. Culture And History In Greenland
An brief introduction to the culture and historyof greenland, presented by the tourist board.
http://www.greenland-guide.gl/culture_history.htm
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: 55,000 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.

As people have lived around Sisimiut for thousands of years, you will find a beautiful town with an impressive history and a relating culture.
In Greenland, art, culture and nature are very closely connected. Here, nature is so immense and man is so small that nature forms a natural setting for everything. Visit the museums, exhibitions and the art shops where you will find this combination which is on the decline most other places in the world.
The Sisimiut Museum:
The Sisimiut Museum is a culture-historical local museum and its speciality is the Greenland trade, industry and shipping.
The museum is housed in the beautiful old buildings originating from the colonial period. It lies close to the harbour.
Art Workshop:
In the old warehouse down at the harbour, you will find the local arts and crafts workshop where the local artists make their beautiful work of art.
The workshop has no regular opening hours but is open whenever some of the artists are working. You are always welcome to drop in.

24. Archaeology Of The Tundra And Arctic Alaska
In an area stretching along the coastline from Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula, along the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea coasts, northward around Alaska, and eastwards across the arctic all the way to greenland, the coastline is icebound in winter and the terrain is generally treeless. In this zone, which can be up to several hundred kilometers broad, developed much of the culture of modern Eskimo (Inupiat and Yupik in Alaska) peoples.

Archaeology of the Tundra and Arctic Alaska
Tundra and Arctic
In an area stretching along the coastline from Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula, along the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea coasts, northward around Alaska, and eastwards across the arctic all the way to Greenland, the coastline is ice-bound in winter and the terrain is generally treeless. In this zone, which can be up to several hundred kilometers broad, developed much of the culture of modern Eskimo (Inupiat and Yupik in Alaska) peoples. Some decisive and significant adaptations took place here and in adjacent Siberia that allowed a more efficient exploitation of this zone. Settlements spread and grew, in some places becoming more specialized, as the historically visible cultures appeared.
Arctic Small Tool Tradition
One of the most distinctive and widespread Arctic cultural traditions appeared around 4000 BP. The Arctic Small Tool tradition (ASTt) was first called the Denbigh Flint complex by its discoverer, Louis Giddings (1964), after the type site on Cape Denbigh on Norton Sound. Subsequently, it has been found throughout the Tundra and Arctic Zone that is characterized by coasts that are ice-bound in winter and treeless hinterland, from the Bering Sea side of the Alaska Peninsula, northward along the coast and throughout the Brooks Range, and eventually, along the Canadian Arctic coast and the Arctic Archipelago to Greenland. The archeological assemblage is distinctive. It derives its name from the finely-flaked, tiny lithic tools that are its hallmark. Irving (1964), from the perspective of the Punyik Point site in the Brooks Range, linked the widespread appeance of these distinctive tools into the Arctic Small Tool tradition.

EAST GREENLAND - YOUR ARCTIC DREAM COME TRUE…
"Tunu" - the reverse side, is what the rest of the country call Eastgreenland, but one learns very soon that there is very little "reverse side" about this part of the country, one would almost say; on the contrary. Nature, the population and the settlements put together, gives an experience that is not found anywhere else in Greenland.
Only about 3500 people live in the 2 towns and 9 settlements on the Eastcoast. The population of Eastgreenland live with, in and of the natural environment - the sea, the ice, the mountains and the animals they catch are vital to their existence in this part of the world. The main source of income is fishing and hunting, although the majority of families also depend on a steady income from other trades.
Only about a 100 years has passed since the first Europeans arrived in Ammassalik, so traditional Inuit culture still has an important role to play in everyday life. But Eastgreenland is also a modern community with all the facilities found elsewhere in the world.

Disko Bay Located on the west coast, north of the Arctic Circle, the Disko Bay area encompasses Disko Island and the Greenland coast that borders the bay. The area offers attractive mountain and seaside scenery. Opportunities abound for outdoor activities year round. The main attraction of the area is Ilulissat Fjord, with the world's busiest calving glacier (a glacier that flows and splinters to produce icebergs). Disko Island - Except for its eastern coast, this whole island is covered with basaltic mountains. The rock formations at the base of Lucie Mountain (near Qeqertarsuaq , the only town) are spectacular. Some good walking routes are found on the island.

29. Travel In Maniisoq, Greenland - Culture
Maniitsoq culture. Home. Northern lights appear all year round in greenland,but they can only be observed against a clear, dark night sky.
http://www.eurotravelling.net/greenland/maniitsoq/maniitsoq_culture.htm
Maniitsoq - Culture Midnight sun is a state of mind. Time makes no sense in this world. You can leave your watch in your suitcase. The day has no end.
The children will roller-skate down the streets in the middle of the night - with sun in their faces. Small motorboats chug out of the harbour. Groups of people sit on the rocks here and there, enjoying the never-ending sunlight. The midnight sun can be encountered north of the Polar Circle. In Ilulissat, for example, the sun never sets from May 25th to July 25th, and during that period "normal" calendar time is virtually non-operative. It is light around the clock. At what used to be night time the soft, warm light and the long shadows from the low-hanging sun bring the scenic backdrops into dreamlike and almost supernaturally beautiful relief. The northern lights are no less impressive. White, yellow, green and red they sweep across the dark sky in a state of eternal, rapid flux. Accumulate in intensity and culminate in scenery beyond imagination. Northern lights appear all year round in Greenland, but they can only be observed against a clear, dark night sky. They appear at a height of about 100 kilometres (65 miles) and have the shape of a flapping curtain or points radiating from a single dot.

The History of Greenland
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.

Early Dorset chronology
The Dorset culture is the latest of the Palaeo-Eskimo cultures in the eastern Arctic. Its earliest and latest datings are found in the Ungava Bay area, southern part of Hudson Bay. Dorset may be split into three periods:
In Greenland only the early phases and latest phases are represented in the dated material, approximately 700 BC - 200 AD and 1100 - 1300 AD.
Early Dorset geographical area
Between these recently surveyed areas a few stray-finds indicate, that the Early Dorset groups also lived in entire East Greenland. By delineating the Early Dorset distribution to the above regions, we exclude the northernmost regions of Greenland, which is the traditional area of the largely contemporaneous Independence II culture . The separation of the two groups is difficult, but minor differences in the lithic artifact designs can be seen, probably as a reflection of the variations in resource base, which is conditioned by the extreme climatic settings in northernmost Greenland.

Thule culture chronology
The Thule culture is the latest of the so-called Neo-Eskimo cultures. Developed around 1000 AD in North Alaska it spread eastwards along the Arctic shores of North America to Labrador and Greenland, which was reached approximately 1200 AD.
From the 15 th century Thule culture sites were found throughout the eastern Arctic region. After that time, the culture was absent in the High Arctic and concentrated at lower latitudes. Recent migration from Canada into the Avanersuaq (Thule) area in northwestern Greenland began in the 18 th century. Radiocarbon datings from Thule sites
Geographical areas of Thule culture Social organisation of Thule culture Relatively large settlements dating to the early occupational period tell about co-operation in whaling, especially in central West Greenland, the Avanersuaq (Thule) district and Northeast Greenland. On several sites, one larger structure has been interpreted as a qasse, or men's house. From the 17

  • The Saqqaq culture existed from roughly 2500 BC until about 800 BC, primarily in southern Greenland. The Independence I culture dating back to about 2400 BC and lasting until about 1300 BC settled in more northerly parts of Greenland. The Independence II culture existed on Greenland from about 800 BC to about 1 BC, in far northern Greenland. The Early Dorset culture was present on Greenland from 700 BC to 200 AD, in southern Greenland.
After the fall of the Early Dorset culture , the island remained unpopulated for several centuries.
