Panel 2A Abstracts
Panel 2A: Greenland-Denmark relations in history: Insights from the ERC Arctic Cultures project Format: Paper panel in English Conveners: Dr Peter Martin & Richard Powell Panel 2A abstract: This panel will present findings from the European Research Council funded project, ‘Arctic Cultures’, 2017-22, that relate to the conference theme on Greenland-Denmark relations. The ARCTIC CULT project investigates the imaginative construction of the Arctic that emerged from the exploration of the region by Europeans and North Americans and their contacts with indigenous peoples from the middle of the sixteenth century. During the exploration and colonisation of the Arctic, particular texts, cartographic representations and objects were collected and returned to sites like Copenhagen, Berlin, Philadelphia and New York. The construction of the Arctic thereby became entwined with the growth of colonial museum cultures and, indeed, western modernity. The panel will present aspects of research from the project that focus upon relations between Greenland and Denmark, as well as other imperial states such as Britain and Germany. Studying transnational histories of knowledge co-production, papers will reflect on the formations of cartographic, ethnographic and geographic knowledges within the Danish-Greenlandic colonial context. The panel will also consider the extent to which these processes of knowledge formation continue to have important consequences for contemporary relations between Greenland and Denmark.

Perceiving the Islandness of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland)
Journal of Marine and Island Cultures, v7n1 — Grydehøj Islands as legible geographies: perceiving the islandness of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) Adam Grydehøj Ilisimatusark/University of Greenland, Greenland Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada Island Dynamics, Denmark [email protected] Publication Information: Received 19 April 2018, Accepted 15 May 2018, Available online 30 June 2018 DOI: 10.21463/jmic.2018.07.1.01 Abstract Despite considerable research within the field of island studies, no consensus has yet been reached as to what it is that makes islands special. Around the world, islands and archipelagos are shaped by diverse spatialities and relationalities that make it difficult to identify clear general characteristics of islandness. This paper argues that one such ‘active ingredient’ of islandness, which is present across many forms of island spatiality, is the idea that islands are ‘legible geographies’: spaces of heightened conceptualisability, spaces that are exceptionally easy to imagine as places. The paper uses the case of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) to show how island geographical legibility has influenced a territory’s cultural and political development over time, even though Kalaallit Nunaat is such a large island that it can never be experienced as an island but can only be perceived as an island from a satellite or cartographic perspective. I ultimately argue that islandness can have significant effects on a place’s development but that it can be difficult to isolate these effects from other factors that may themselves have been influenced by islandness.

An Introduction to Inuit and Chukchi Experiences in the Bering Strait, Beaufort Sea, and Baffin Bay

Inuit and their Chukchi neighbors have always been highly mobile, but the imposition of three international borders in the region constrained travel, trade, hunting, and resource stewardship among neighboring groups. Colonization, assimilation, and enforcement of national laws further separated those even from the same family. In recent decades, Inuit and Chukchi have re-established many ties across those boundaries, making it easier to travel and trade with one another and to create new institutions of environmental management. To introduce Indigenous perspectives into the discussion of transboundary maritime water connections in the Arctic, this paper presents personal descriptions of what those connections mean to people who live and work along and across each of the national frontiers within the region: Russia–U.S., U.S.–Canada, and Canada–Greenland. -
Sheep Farming As “An Arduous Livelihood”

Abstract In order to investigate how Inuit Greenlanders in western Greenland are experiencing, responding to, and thinking about recent allegedly human-induced climate change, this dissertation ethnographically examines the lives of Greenlanders as well as Norse and Danes in the course of past historical natural climate cycles. My emphasis is on human endeavours to cultivate a future in the face of difficulties caused by climatic and environmental transformation. I recognize locals’ initiatives to carve out a future in the promotion of sheep farming and tree-planting in southern Greenland and in adaptation processes of northern Greenlandic hunters to the ever-shifting environment. -
The Inuit Language in Inuit Communities in Canada. [Map]
The Inuit Language in Inuit Communities in Canada. [Map]. Natascha Sontag. Fairbanks: University of Alaska Press, 2006. 24 X 36 in.* Reviewed by Mary S. Linn It is rare that a linguist is asked to review a map. It is rarer still that one gets to read a map that not only provides the borders of a language family but is truly about the language and its speakers. The Inuit Language in Inuit Communities in Canada is a map of the Inuit language family territory, about the languages, in the languages. The Inuit Language in Inuit Communities in Canada is visually bright, with a true green delineating Canada and light blues, pinks, and yellows overlaid for Inuit dialect territories. The title is off to the right side, and (following the spirit of the map) is in Inuit first (both Roman and syllabic), English, and also French. The map’s projection does include Greenland in the east, most of Alaska and the northeastern tip of the Russian Federation to the west, and parts of all the Canadian provinces to the south. The Inuit territories are outlined and named with major dialect areas and subdialects within these. Communities are marked with a circle, the color of which is determined by the dialect. These community indicators may be split into halves or quarters and colored appropriately depending on how many dialects are found in that community. Community names are in Inuit prominently while the names in English are provided in a smaller, red font. The southernmost Inuit community in Québec includes the Cree name in Cree syllabics as well. -

The present study shorter term perspective of change in overall distribution draws on a combination of biological, archaeological, and movements (e.g. Stewart et al. 2014), and in its archaeo-zoological, historical, and ethnographic sources response to climate and hunting practices (e.g. Born 1987; covering the period from the 8th century AD to the late 20th Born et al. 2017). Both these time-scales impinge upon the century.

Inuit Resources
Inuit People The Inuit people are a community of indigenous people. A group are called ‘Inuit’ people and a single person is called an ‘Inuk’. ‘Eskimo’ is the term used for the Yupik, Iñupiat and Inuit peoples together, but it is not thought to be a nice term in some areas so we say ‘Inuit’ people instead. Diet Inuit people hunt and fish, sometimes using harpoons. Most of their diet is made up of meat, as not much can grow in such a cold environment. They eat fish, wild berries, edible seaweed called ‘kuanniq’, seal, caribou, walrus, polar bears, even whales and sometimes Arctic foxes! Polar bear Whale Caribou Walrus Seal Arctic fox Where in the World The Inuit people live in far northern Arctic areas. Populations of Inuit people are living in Greenland, Canada, Alaska, Russia and Denmark. They used to live along the coast, but have travelled to new places. They live in some of the harshest conditions on earth.

They make igloos out of snow and ice, as a shelter when travelling. These are perfect for them to stay in during the winter.

Did Bering Strait People Initiate the Thule Migration?
Alaska Journal of Anthropology Volume 4, Numbers 1-2 Did Bering Strait People Initiate the Thule Migration? Hans Christian Gulløv National Museum of Denmark ([email protected]) Robert McGhee Canadian Museum of Civilization ([email protected]) Abstract: Th e Ruin Island phase of northwestern Greenland and adjacent Ellesmere Island is associated with artifact assemblages that resemble those of western Alaskan Punuk, rather than Canadian Th ule culture or the North Alaskan Th ule tradition, the supposed source for the Inuit expansion eastward across North America. Ruin Island assemblages also contain numerous artifacts obtained through contact with the medieval Norse. Th e re-evaluation of radiocarbon series associated with Eastern Arctic Th ule culture suggests temporal priority for the Ruin Island phase, with a probably thirteenth century assignment. Th e role of iron is assessed as a motive for instigating the initial movement of Inuit from Alaska to the Eastern Arctic, and it is concluded that this was possibly a commercially-motivated enterprise undertaken by peoples whose ancestors had long engaged in the metal trade across Bering Strait Keywords: Greenland archaeology, Punuk culture, Inuit origins When Erik Holtved (1944, 1954) excavated early Inuit Th e temporal placement of the Ruin Island complex winter houses at Ruin Island and other locations in the Th ule was established with greater certainty by radiocarbon dates District of far northwestern Greenland, he recovered arti- obtained from sites on eastern Ellesmere Island, excavated fact assemblages that were signifi cantly diff erent from those during the 1970s and 1980s by Karen McCullough and Pe- excavated earlier by Mathiassen (1927) from Th ule culture ter Schledermann.
