Ullortuneq

📣 Traveler notes

Greenland is the world's largest non-continental island in the Arctic, located far northeast of North America. It has been inhabited by Arctic peoples for millennia, with documented Viking settlements dating to the 10th century. It remains part of the Danish Realm.

• Use 'Kalaalleq' when referring to local people.
• Reference the 'Kingdom of Denmark' when discussing sovereignty.
• Be mindful that the holiday celebrates Greenlandic national identity.
• Use 'Kalaalleq' (or 'Kalaallit' for plural) as the preferred term when referring to local people, as 'Eskimo' is considered a racist slur. Alternatively, 'Greenlander' is acceptable. When discussing governance, use 'Kingdom of Denmark' instead of 'Denmark', as the local population distinguishes their identity.
