📣 Traveler notes
Greenland is a large, non-continental Arctic island located northeast of North America. Its history includes millennia of habitation by Arctic peoples and settlement by Vikings in the 10th century. It is currently administered as part of the Danish Realm.
- Avoid using the term 'Eskimo' when addressing the local population.
- Refer to the native inhabitants using 'Kalaallit' or 'Greenlander.'
- Acknowledge Danish sovereignty by referring to the location as the 'Kingdom of Denmark.'
- Do not use 'Eskimo,' as it is considered a racial slur. Use 'Kalaallit' or 'Greenlander' when referring to the native inhabitants. When discussing the location, reference it as the 'Kingdom of Denmark,' as Greenlanders regard themselves as a separate nation.
