  3. Over the last couple of weeks, I have started studying Kalaallisut (Greenlandic) with the unforgettable Per Långgard.

    I'm interested in following accounts that post in Kalaallisut on fedi. I'm open to a wide range of topics and types of people, and will sympathize with anti-Trump and anti-colonial political takes.

    I wouldn't _object_ to following (or at least checking out) accounts posting in other Inuit languages as well, so long as it is clear who is speaking what.

  4. Nuuk Posse – Kaataq (1996, Greenland)

    Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 414 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. Originally formed in 1984-85 as a DJ/breakdance trio, Nuuk Posse released their first single in 1992 and rapped primarily in Kalaallisut/West Greenlandic and Danish, making them both the first Greenlandic rap group and a very influential group in Greenland's hip-hop scene. This album is their 2nd and final studio album, put out by Belgian label Sub Rosa.

  5. Nuuk Posse – Kaataq (1996, Greenland)

    Our next spotlight is on number 414 on The List, submitted by Almoehi.

    Originally formed in 1984-85 as a DJ/breakdance trio (of 12-year-olds), Nuuk Posse as a rap crew of five released their first single/EP in 1992 (Sussa Appinnagu! Don’t Play It!) and then, as a crew of six, released their debut album NP in 1995. If the beginning of the video for the EP’s first (banger of a) track “Qitik“[1] is accurate, it seems that Nuuk Posse wasn’t just a rather influential group in Greenland’s hip-hop scene, but they were the first Greenlandic rap group! They rapped primarily in Kalaallisut/West Greenlandic and Danish (with a bit of English) with socially conscious lyrics that combined some traditional Inuit elements with modern hip-hop. The album here, put out by Belgian label Sub Rosa, is technically their 2nd studio album, though it seems to have almost all the same tracks as their debut NP (put out by Greenlandic label Ulo).

    It’s hard to find much else on Nuuk Posse in English aside from the same paragraph repeated over and over. Though it appears that Kaataq was the crew’s final album (and, sadly, founding member Henrik Pedersen Broberg died in 2014), it seems a 30th anniversary concert spawned a reunion of sorts, as a single from 2018 (“Nunarput“) also exists on the streaming services. Perhaps we’ll hear again from them.

    1. If you’re not opposed to the YT, check out the fun video for this track! I’m fairly certain the woman singing in the video is Nukâka Coster-Waldau, sister of one of the rappers; she would later became (and still is) an actor in Greenlandic and Danish film and TV. ↩︎

    It died because of lacking a community of native speakers who would create and maintain the #Greenlandic #Wikipedia. It came out that a huge part of articles were written in some kind of fantasy language, later by AI.

    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi

    In german, written by the only (ex-)Admin of Greenlandic Wikipedia, who is german.

    The author says, that a large amount of AI-written Wikipedia-articles coming over language with a small base of written texts could alter the natural language.

  7. If you know the #Greenlandic (#Kalallisut) language, or you know someone who does, and you want to help restart the Greenlandic-language Wikipedia, please talk to me, and I'll do everything I can to help. This Wikipedia really should exist and thrive, for a lot of reasons.

    First spin in the new year is the second purchase I made on my visit to Greenland in November. Signed by the artist I met in Greenland's only record store where he told me that the title translates to "We are Enjoying the Sunshine"...

  12. Might this explain the story in many news sources over the weekend of the newborn being taken away from a #Greenlandic mother in #Denmark?

    Two hours after Keira Alexandra Kronvold gave birth, her daughter was taken from her – the third child to be removed from her care following a now-banned assessment that disproportionately targets #Inuit women in #Denmark. Will she win the fight to get Zammi back?

  15. "There's this story that Denmark was the nice colonisers, [that] they were the first to free the slaves and they were nice to the Greenlandic people. We were allowed to keep our language."

    "Well, some of us were, and some of us were not allowed to have children, and some of us were taken away and shipped off to #Denmark."

    One of Denmark's most horrific practices involved the forced contraception of almost half of #Greenlandic Inuit girls of child-bearing age during the 60s and 70s.
