This song “Nanook” is performed by the Greenlandic band Nanook. It is concerned with the polar bear and how climate change is affecting this animal’s ways of life. But climate change does not just affect the polar bear, it also affects humanity and especially the people living in the Arctic who witness climate change on an everyday basis. Because of how climate change has resulted in uncertainties and threats to the ways of life of both animals and humans in the Arctic, the band Nanook has used the polar bear as their symbol since the earliest days. The band’s commitment to this animal as a symbol of both the power and fragility of nature, culture and life per se, is also present in the name of the band ´Nanook’ - which means ‘the greatest of all polar bears’, and is the name of a polar bear God in Inuit mythology.
Lyrics:
Tune in on the trail of the polar bear, and see all the cracks
it’s track, it’s path worn out
Nanook, Nanook has strayed
See the powerful polar bear
The beautiful and ever-changing drift ice
Fends off and summons, and is often missed
See the powerful polar bear
And I realize how powerful the Kalaallit people are
Lyrics by Christian Elsner & Frederik Elsner

Ambassadors of Greenland. Are you fucking kidding. As an Inuit from Greenland and part Icelandic, but also a wild life veterinarian and an ethologist. I am more appalled by this than anything. This is western self-righteousness and self-indulgence at its finest . And by this i mean, most blatant. This is an embarrassment to Greenland and to us Inuit nations. And to the preservation of whatever wild life we have left, thanks to you.
