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.

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.
- 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.
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.

‘The nurse told me I couldn’t keep my baby’: how a controversial #Danish ‘parenting test’ separated a #Greenlandic woman from her children
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?

"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.

Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)
Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh).
As with our last spotlight, I came across this one while specifically searching for cool albums to include in The List. A year later, it remains one of my favourite finds for both the project and, well, ever.
Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making Sumut, their debut, to be the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language, i.e., their own language rather than the language of the Danish colonizers. Even without looking into what the lyrics mean, that language choice plus the intense artwork – a reproduction of a 19th century woodcutting by Aron of Kangeq that depicts an Inuit person standing over a Norseman they had just killed – clues the listener into the fact that this album was making a political statement.
In fact the album – released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark (who had ruled the island since 1814) – would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule. The lyrics were revolutionary, presenting the political concerns of the Greenlandic people as well as simply using their own voice and not the skewed (i.e., racist) voice of white colonizers to depict the day-to-day lives of Inuit people. Check out some snippets below:[1]
Track 1 – “Pivfît Nutât” (“New Times”)
I wake up – I’ve been sleeping for a long time
They tell me two and half days have gone by for two and half centuries
I realise that they’re still here
They are here to get rich and to oppress us
Greenland, “The Lands of the People”
You can’t keep sheltering your children from harm
New times have begun
The old days we have left behindTrack 4 – “Tamorassâriat” (“The First Bite of the Seal”)
My father is a great hunter
He arrives with a big catch
Those who want the first bite of the seal rush down to the beach
To get a good treat
The first bite of the sealTrack 7 – “Erĸasûteĸarneĸ” (“Worry”)
Always a colony
Always oppressed
Leadership missing
Makes you blind
Never turn your back and be silentTrack 10 – “Ukiaĸ” (“Spring”)
The Earth, because it’s always spinning
The great day darkens
Nature is transforming
My love is putting on her warm coat
…
The flower is already getting brown
And I learn that’s the way it is
Like my friend
Without hiding, it becomes the soil
…
That poor kayak, it loses its skin
Deteriorated by time
Naked, it becomes a skeleton
Its time has comeTrack 11 – “Nalunaerasuartaut Toĸuvoĸ” (“The Telegraph is Dead”)
The telegraph is dead
Connection failed
What is happening in the world?
Is there peace out there?Apparently 20%(!) of Greenland’s entire population bought Sumut. And it’s not that surprising as, apart from the lyrics that inspired the Greenlandic people to take political action, the album sounds damn good. Sumé’s style, fusing psychedelic/prog rock with some traditional Inuit sounds (particularly from drum dances), would have a great impact on future Greenlandic rock, which remains a huge genre in the country.
The band would release two more albums soon after Sumut (Inuit Nunaat in 1974 and a s/t in 1976), and then reunited in 1994 for one last album, Persersume. Twenty years later, following the first reissue of Sumut, Sumé – Mumisitsinerup Nipaa (“Sumé – The Sound of a Revolution“) was released, a 2014 Greenlandic documentary from director Inuk Silis Høegh that celebrates the band, the album, and their impact on Greenlandic history.
Methinks, given *all of this*, it’s a good time to give this album a spin.

Is there a #greenlandic speaker here? Google translate just launched #Kalaallisut, I'm trying it out but the answers look wild? I *think* it is translating danish via english to Kalaallisut, but that is a bizarre decision because there must be many more training data from danish.
I'm now using
