Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island, situated in the Arctic far northeast of North America. Historically settled by Arctic peoples and later by Vikings in the 10th century, it is currently part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

• Learn about Greenland's history and culture.
• Be aware that the native population prefers 'Kalaalleq' or 'Greenlander' over historical terms.
• Acknowledge Greenland's separate national identity despite its association with Denmark.
• Do not use the term 'Eskimo,' as it is considered a racist slur. Use 'Kalaalleq' (or 'Kalaallit') as the preferred term used by native inhabitants, or the acceptable alternative, 'Greenlander.' When referencing political status, refer to the location as 'the Kingdom of Denmark' rather than 'Denmark.'
