Tasiilaq, Greenland. In this small village we visit a museum and some local artisans that carve antlers and tusks. Rasmus is our museum guide.
This was a Natural Habitat trip to Greenland. If you are interested in this trip, or any other NatHab trip, please tell them I referred you.

Sketches of Greenland - Roots2Share

Short sketches of everyday life in Tiniteqilaaq (Diilerilaaq) and Tasiilaq.  In these short documentary films the people of Tiniteqilaaq tell about daily life in their remote hunter-village on the East-Greenlandic coast. Life is changing rapidly in these small communities. They tell about hunting, family, old traditions and the nomadic way of life they used to live. They compare the old days with today while showing old photographs. These old photographs were made by Gerti Nooter, a Dutch anthropologist who worked in East-Greenland from the 1960s to the 1980s.
