THE GREENLAND CONNECTION Kalaallit Nunaannut Atassuteqaat "A rational voice on Greenland's behalf" - Jonathan Motzfeldt, Greenlandic Prime Minister 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.

Greenland Summary Geography, Culture, and History Greenland is the largest island in the world, measuring 2,670 km from its northern to southern tips, but it has a human population of only about 50,000. All of Greenland has an Arctic climate (mean temperatures below +10 E C for the warmest month). Eighty-five percent of its 2,175,600 sq km area is covered with a massive ice cap that reaches 3,200 m near the center and is over 1,370 m thick in places. Only the Antarctic ice sheet is larger. It holds 9% of the world's fresh water and if all the ice were to melt, the world's oceans reportedly would rise six to seven meters. Annual snows accumulate on the cap and due to weight, the ice flows out toward the edges. From the central mass, ribbons of ice descend along mountain valleys and ravines, pushing hills or large rocks and gravel before them. At other times, the glacier may crown or appear to hang atop high cliff faces. The glacier directly joins the sea in some locations and may move at rates up to 25-30 m each day, berthing icebergs the size of city blocks. The native people of Greenland are believed to be descendants of aboriginal hunters and the "Thule Culture" which probably came to Greenland about the same time as the Norsemen who later vanished. The native peoples (Eskimo culture) of the Arctic are known more traditionally as Inuit"the People." The term "Greenlander" is usually given to all native people of Greenland. The native people of northwestern Greenland, who distinguish themselves from other West Greenlanders, are given their own name by themselvesInuhuit meaning "great and beautiful human beings." Northwest Greenland is known as the Thule District or Avanersuaq.

89. Bryggen Art, Kolonialen - Is The North Atlantic Culture A Square Or A Circle? By The growing consumption of international mass culture in Greenlandand the Faroe Islands has not reduced local awareness. Within http://www.bryggenart.com/en/north_atlantic_art.php

Home Welcome North Atlantic House Kolonialen ... Change Language Is the North Atlantic culture a square or a circle? For a thousand years three nations have co-existed in the North Atlantic, but not until the entrance into a new millennium we start asking ourselves whether we have something in common and whether we can learn something from each other. For centuries our contact to the outside world went through three separate routes to Copenhagen, which still must be considered to be the fourth corner of the North Atlantic universe. The fact that a large part of the cultural heritage has been repressed might also be considered an advantage. When the first Icelandic painters, sculptors, composers etc. fought to make a name for themselves, they were not burdened by a heritage. The world were at their feet, and they went on Grand Tours to the metropolis, absorbed the latest in international art, copied it and began slowly to find their own personal expressions, often inspired by the scenery, light, natural sounds and human activity that surrounded them in Iceland. The recognition, which these pioneers have obtained both in Iceland and abroad, seems to show that the lack of heritage can also be used as an advantage. Greenland and the Faroe Islands have been part of a Danish state that has been organised from the centre, and the contact between the North Atlantic neighbours has until recently been so slight that they might as well be positioned in three different corners of a four-cornered North Atlantic universe. The development of national independence has made the three nations inclined to seek inspiration from and compare themselves with greater cultural units than their closest neighbours. My expertise is the Icelandic and not the Greenlandic and Faroese cultural development, but I am fairly sure that the Faroese and Greenlandic national identities are much closer connected to a visual, physical and musical culture than the Icelandic identity is, while the two countries only recently have developed a written language and literature based on oral traditions and bible translations.

Identity and acculturation: The case of food consumption by Greenlanders in Denmark Author info Abstract Publisher info Download info ...

(University of Nebraska, Lincoln) Abstract Executive summary 1. The paper focuses on the acculturation strategies employed by Greenlandic consumers living in Denmark and in particular how food products enter into a discourse of identity construction. The study of Greenlandic consumers in Denmark provides insight into acculturation processes for consumers with a more or less dual cultural background (due to the strong Danish cultural influence in Greenland). This duality of cultural identity means that Greenlandic immigrants’ consumption reflects a well-known negotiation of Danish and Greenlandic consumer cultures under new conditions, rather than a classic acculturation process as in, eg, Pe±alosa’s (1994) study of Mexican immigrants in the United States. 2. Our research is based on depth interviews with 20 Greenlandic consumers living in Denmark. It demonstrates how food products are given another symbolic meaning when consumers cross cultural borders between Denmark and Greenland and how food products become part of a discourse of identity. The interviews focused on border crossings between the two cultures, consumption patterns in the two cultures, special meanings linking certain types of consumer behaviour to one culture or the other, and expectations for the future development of a “Greenlandic consumer society”. A trained member of the Greenlandic community made the interviews to ensure maximum empathy between interviewer and informant.

Bibliography Musical Battles Armenian Folk Arts, Culture and Identity co-edited by Nancy Sweeny and Levon Abrahamian (Indiana University Press, 2001) The "media" of 19 th century Armenia were wandering bards called gusans that traveled from village to village. This brand-new book includes material about contests between Armenian bards. Jazz Style in Kansas City and the Southwest by Ross Russell (University of California Press, 1971) This book is a superb overview of the Kansas City jazz scene and its evolution. The lens moves from ragtime to Count Basie, Charlie Parker to Bennie Moten. There's also a great chapter on jam sessions that we consulted for this show. Nat Hentoff writes "it's ....an indispensable book - and one that should further the redefinition of authentic American culture. Ross Russell helps illuminate a music which never received Pulitzer prizes nor recognition from 'official' American academies of art." Jazz Anecdotes by Bill Crow (Oxford University Press, 1990) The book is just what the title indicates - a compilation of the best anecdotes of the jazz world, told by the musicians and friends who were there. There's one chapter on cutting contests, which we found particularly helpful in putting this show together, including anecdotes about Roy Eldridge, Rex Stewart, Dizzy Gillespie and Sidney Bechet. Traditional Greenlandic Music by Michael Hauser (Forlaget Kragen and ULO, 1992) Traditional drum-songs used to have great cultural significance in Greenland for spiritual, legal, and entertainment purposes. Hauser shows how encroachment of European culture has changed the cultural roles of drum-songs. Song-duels are still held in front of audiences, but today's purposes are more for entertainment. Hauser delves into the cultural context of the change, and explores the lyrical and musical structures of the duels. There is also a number of beautiful photographs of Greenland, the people, and dueling.

Last update:06/09/2004 14:40 MSK Russia World Science and Culture Editorial ... About Pravda.RU:Science and Culture:More in detail Greenland is doomed to melt Greenland is covered by the biggest ice sheet in the northern hemisphere: almost 772,000 square miles of ice which is up to 1.9 miles thick, the base of which is below sea level. Greenland's icy mountains and the island's entire ice cap could disappear in the next 1,000 years because of global warming, European scientists warn today. If that occurs sea levels will rise by seven metres, drowning low-level coastlines around the world. But Jonathan Gregory, of the Hadley Centre for climate prediction at the University of Reading, and colleagues from Brussels and Bremerhaven, report in the journal Nature that an average annual warming in the region of 2.7C (37F) would mean that the rate of melting would outpace the annual snowfall. The greater the warming, the faster the snow melts. The worst-case predictions for Greenland, made by an intergovernmental panel of scientists, involve an average warming of 8C (46F). At those temperatures oceans that have risen by 2.5mm (less than one-tenth of an inch) a year will start to rise by a steady 7mm a year. There are already signs of consistent melting in Greenland. Researchers reported in 1999 that the ice sheet was thinning by about a metre a year, report guardian.co.uk
