    • 2019 August 22, Matthew H. Birkhold, “A Brief History of the Indignities Heaped Upon Greenland”, in The New York Times[1]:
      In 2014, the Greenlandic government — called the Naalakkersuisut — established a reconciliation commission to investigate the continuing consequences of colonialism. After three years, the commission concluded that a majority of the nearly 60,000 people living in Greenland, 88 percent of whom are Greenlandic Inuit, are still marked by the negative effects of the colonial period.
