2 Who Are We? KNAPK (Kalaallit Nunaanni Aalisartut Piniartullu Kattuffiat) is an interest group for fishermen and hunters of , founded in 1953 as a merger of local unions, following a meeting between The Royal Greenland Trading Department and the then-governor.

The organization can cooperate with similar foreign organizations, but it is crucial to underline the fact that KNAPK is in no way associated with any specific political party.
