THE DANISH-NORWEGIAN STATE AND FORMALISED TRADE
From 1720 the Danish-Norwergian state founded trading stations in Greenland.
One of those places was Ilulissat. The place was called Jakobshavn after the Danish merchant Jakob Severin.
Today 4,700 people live in Ilulissat. A hundred years ago there were just 300.
Omkring år 1200 ankom inuit, Thule-folket, til Diskobugten. De er forfædre til det grønlandske folk.
De udviklede kajakken, som den ser ud i dag. De introducerede fangstblæren. Den forhindrede den harpunerede sæl i at slippe væk eller gå til bunds.
On page 33 in the book is a map of Ilulissat from 1919.
How many Inuit houses are there?
Draw one or more Inuit houses.
The best hunters were called great hunters.
They caught more than needed for themselves and their family. What they did not need, they traded for European luxury goods.
De første bosættere brugte harpun til at fange sælerne med. I dag fanges de med garn.
In the picture you see the great hunter Johan Gundel from Ilulissat.
Invent a story about him and his family.
Write, record or draw your story:
Around 1900 the Inuit moved from the settlements to town to be closer to the shops. They became sedentary.
Make a list of things that could be bought in Sofus’ shop.
