📣 Traveler notes
Greenland is a large Arctic island in the far north-east of North America. Historically inhabited by Arctic peoples and settled by Vikings in the 10th century, it is currently part of the Danish Realm.
- Be aware that Pentecost is a Jewish holiday and may impact local observances.
- Use respectful terminology when referring to the indigenous population.
- Do not use 'Eskimo,' as it is considered a racist slur. Use 'Kalaalleq' or 'Kalaallit' when referring to native inhabitants; 'Greenlander' is acceptable. When discussing political status, use 'Kingdom of Denmark' instead of 'Denmark,' and recognize Greenland's unique national identity.
