Greenland Reconciliation Commission finds colonization did 'a lot of damage'


The Greenland Reconciliation Commission released its final report last month after three years of research and public outreach. The commission, launched in 2014 to investigate human rights abuses against Inuit in Greenland, stirred controversy as leaders in the Danish government denounced it and said it wouldn't take part. The report released on Dec. 8 is only available in Danish and Kalaalisut, a dialect of the Greenlandic language. The commission found that colonization of Inuit in Greenland had "done a lot of damage," says Williamson. The Commission outlined 11 recommendations for the Government of Greenland, including the building of a knowledge centre to help collect and promote an Inuit-centred history of Greenland.
