The first time I was learning English, it felt very limited with pronouns used in family dynamics. We have like a dozen words just to address different types of our uncles and aunts. It was kind of a revelation when I realised how much extended families formed the skeletal structures of our society. There were villages formed exclusively by one or two families, growing bigger as members created their own branches. Languages hold within their DNA an entire host of history.

My first time out of country on the way back to the USA I flew over Greenland. It almost had this mythical feeling about it looking at pure uncharted winter wilderness as the pilot said "by the way if you look outside we are over Greenland - not a sight many people see unless they are flying" All I wondered was "what in the world even goes on down there?

As a Danish person I am so grateful for your coverage of this topic, telling stories of the people of Greenland. I teared up a little bit watching this, it was a mix of great sadness because of the violence my ancestors committed against the people of Greenland and joy in seeing them hold on to and fight for their traditions and way of life. It would be great to see a video about the Sami people next!

@TerkanTyr Год назад

As a Norwegian I wonder what contrasts and similarities between the Sami and Inuit would show up in a Johnny Harris video. I have the impression that Sami people are much more integrated and nationally active, but have been much less successful in real self-governance. The Norwegian government does not wish to decolonize. I know for certain that modern Norwegians would consider it a completely unacceptable unthinkable thing to let the Sami self-govern their own territory. We're not letting go. Reading about Sami independence, there seems to be this sense that it would be dangerous to talk about. Provoking. Every source seems to say "No, no, we don't want independent territory, calm down!", with one example of a Finnmark newspaper using "Ja til Sameland" as ragebait, apparently? I'm not sure what to make of it. There seems to be a little more tension than we let on. But I'm not sure.

@MachivelianBear Год назад

As a South Greenlander this is very interesting to watch. Here in the south(Qaqortoq/Julianehåb) we mainly fish normally, because our seas do not freeze as much as they do north of Nuuk. Also a lot of villages have taken up sheep hearding. Also, remember Mr. Harris, about 3/4 of Greenlanders are part Danish., in the sense they have Danish ancestry. So remember that when do your anti-Danish colonial bit, that almost all Greenlanders are also Danish and most polls say over 80% of us support the Danish monarchy. Denmark also pays over 50% of our self-government state budget. We also have extra-civil rigth's that normal(white Danes) do not have. Examples are more help from social services. More grants, lower university requirements to get accepted etc. so Denmark does alot of stuff for us. Also alot of Greenlanders try to get into the Danish Army(even though we are not subject to conscription). With my former example of the differences between north and south i also want to add that because the Bygd's(settlements) are so spread out, speaking of greenland as a centralised nation does not make sense. For example i could bare understand Nikolaj's dialect. That is also why Danish is still used as the universal language in public administration. because mostly all of us understand it. Also if you visit the eastern part of Greenland, you will get a huge cultural shock. They are all basicly christian fundamentalists out there:) All in all, thank you for showing the beauty of our islands!🇬🇱🇩🇰🇬🇱

This was the best 35 minutes I have spent. This film exposes the narrow mindedness of modern culture and teaches the lesson of the ice. Johnny arrived believing that Innuit culture was in decline and would be overtaken by modern culture but the lesson of the ice holds true. Ice can be harsh and dangerous but it also offers opportunity which a wise people will take and use to gain a better living. It is this thinking that will protect these people. Modern life and technology is powerful but is increasingly more fragile, by holding on to the old ways and adapting modern materials and technology then incorporating it into their culture, their way of life will continue long after the collapse of western civilisation because the Ice will still be there and the lessons it will teach.

I used to fly over Greenland every other year, going back and forth from Istanbul-Seattle. I never saw any towns or villages, just a vast expanse of black rock and ice. It always looked like such a bleak, forbidding place, like an alien planet. It crossed my mind more than once how screwed we would be if our plane went down there! But now I look forward to my next flight over Greenland; I may never have the chance to actually visit, but I’ll see it in a very different way. You’ve provided such a great close-up look at Greenland, and Qupanuk and the people she introduces us to, provide as much of a human connection as is possible through a computer screen. Hearing these way-too-familiar stories of colonization; disenfranchisement and forced assimilation, I can’t help but think of how much better our world would be if native peoples had been allowed to meet the new cultures on their own terms, and adopt what they wanted from them as a matter of choice rather than being forced; or worse yet, seen merely as obstacles to an occupier’s expansion or pillaging. There would still be issues of course, but we would not have so many cultures today trying to rescue what’s left of their identity. I’m glad for the Greenlanders, that they were able to save so much of their culture, language and identity before it was too late. Though they’re clearly still dealing with that fallout at home, it seems they could also have a valuable perspective to share with other native peoples engaged in the same struggle.

@@AEuropeanCitizen active Mormon here. Short (very harsh) answer is religiously based colonialism. I’ve grown up in the LDS faith for 30 years and it’s a thing that’s never set well with me. There’s definitely an intention of “I have a good thing/ I have a thing that makes me happy and I wanna share it” but there’s an inextricable colonialism and racism too. LDS folks won’t all agree on this - just like anything else, there are people who are really conservative and people who are really liberal. For a lot of LDS folks, it’s nuanced and individual to them. Does that help?

Man as somebody who actually built the roofs for that new school in Nuuk this documentary hits different. I've spent months in Nuuk, and all I can say is hats off to the Inuits for living there, it's truly something else. If one gets alone time on top of a mountain or a remote place in Greenland, you breathe and your hear your thoughts and nothing else. It's truly a different experience. I still haven't figured out how most greenlanders feel about this rapid development of Greenland. If it would be up to me, it should be left alone, otherwise we risk destroying its beauty.

Hey, you pay for all our stuff as compensation, so I would say we are very much even. Greenlandic villages are so spread out that we can barely understand each other in Greenlandic.

Man, I really enjoy these kind of insights into fringe communities. It has me speculating if I could personally integrate into a community like this. Living the way I do. With food at my fingertips. Anytime any day. With a car where I can travel a few hundred miles in a single day. With AC and heat. I imagine that it’s a brutal yet very serene way of life. Where survival becomes a very big part of your everyday life. Instead of working for a dollar, working for a weeks worth of food. And being lucky enough to be able to craft warmer garbs in order to survive long enough to catch said food. Awesome video. Keep up the good work.

@nahor88 Год назад

Speaking of food, I'm always curious about these communities living in constant subfreezing temps how they get their requisite nutrition from fruits and vegetables. Obviously very little to nothing grows there, so is it all imported? Do they have to take vitamins, or is just relying on the vitamin content from whale and seal meat enough?

@strangerpainter 9 месяцев назад
