Reading Resources: Voices & Stories of Greenland
1. Video about Greenland mining activities and Greenlandic individuals' reactions.
2. Article about consequences of colonization in Greenland.
3. Journalism Fund website, with investigative journalism links to read about increasing interest in Greenland and how this has impacts on the Environment.
5. An article detailing the nuances in mining discourse.
6. An article about Narsaq's Kvanefjeld mining project and the government's response/company lawsuits.
7. An article specifically about the lawsuits between mining companies and Greenland's government.
8. An article about these lawsuits around the world.
9. An article about the relationship between mining lawsuits and fossil fuels.
10. The White Gold of Greenland is a documentary on mining in Greenland made by Danish filmmakers, released this year. Denmark has banned the film, which makes it all the more enticing to watch. Here you can watch it if you are based in Canada. For those of us in the U.S., I'm still trying to figure out when/if we will be able to stream it.
11. Photos from a protest in Narsaq against uranium mining in February 2025.
12. Greenland government statement on Trump's threats on March 14, 2025:
"The US President has once again reiterated his desire for annexation and control of Greenland at a meeting with the Secretary General of NATO on March 13, 2025.
In this regard, the chairmen of all the parties elected to Inatsisartut – Demokraatit, Naleraq, Inuit Ataqatigiit, Siumut and Atassut – have the following statement:
"We - all party chairmen - cannot accept the repeated statements about annexation and control of Greenland. As party chairmen, we find this behavior unacceptable towards friends and allies in a defense alliance.
We, as the leaders of all parties in Inatsisartut in Greenland, must emphasize that Greenland continues the work for Greenland, which is already underway through diplomatic channels in accordance with international laws and regulations.
We all stand behind this effort and strongly distance ourselves from attempts to create discord. Greenland is one country, which everyone will stand behind."
Inussiarnersumik / Sincerely
Jens Frederik Nielsen, Democracy
Pele Broberg, Naleraq
Múte B. Egede, Inuit Ataqatigiit
Vivian Motzfeldt, Siumut
