Hello, I am a Polar Inuit from Qaanaaq.
This is my home.

Me

• I live and work in Qaanaaq, but my family
  originally came from the settlement of Thule the
  furthest northern settlement in the world, but it
  was bulldozed by the Americans with the
  permission of the Danish government to become
  anuclear and air base.
• I enjoy hunting seals with my harpoon, but I
  spend most of my time working at one of the few
  places you can find work, the furthest north
  restaurant, the Polar Grill. Many my friends
  cant find jobs and I think myself lucky to have
  such a great job.
• But more importantly when I get free time I love
  to hunt seals. I find waiting with a raised
  harpoon by a small seal breathing hole more
  exciting then anything.

Family

• I live with my family, my 90 year old mother , 20
  year old unemployed sister and my foreign lodger
  from Macedonia.

Here in Qaanaaq we feel a strong tie to our
family and keep together. In the past it was stay
together or die, Sticking together has stuck
through.

The Community

• I live in the colourful town of Qaanaaq, most
  houses are made of brightly painted wood with
  steep metal roofs so snow will fall off. (We
  certainly have colourful characters as well as
  buildings)

There are few services and fewer to provide them
to, unemployment is a major problem. What can you
do other than hunt and fish, but with animal
activism and global warming were being hit
hardest first.

Nation
Qaanaaq

• We have been semi autonomous since 1987, but
  Denmark manages foreign and defence policies.
  Sometimes even though the Danes let us have two
  representatives in their Parliament we feel
  neglected treated like idiots by the Danish
  people.

Green land is made up of variety of

Continent
The first men (Americans, sigh) to reach the
north pole passed through Qaanaaq.
Greenland

• As we are strictly party of Denmark we were
  forced to join the EU when they joined it in the
  1973. But we dropped the EU over stringent
  fishing laws in 1985 after becoming a semi
  automatons 1979.

Global

• Globally my country is suffering the first
  casualties of global warming. The ice caps are
  melting, causing the hunting and fishing that we
  survive on to deteriorate.
• An American run airbase was built on the
  settlement of Thule in the 1950s during the Cold
  War. Several years ago an aircraft carrying
  nuclear weapons crashed and deadly uranium and
  plutonium shards were thrown across the ice. Over
  one kg is yet to be recovered enough to build a
  nuclear bomb. In the surrounding hunting grounds
  mutants have appeared such as furless seals.
