This is the definition of a dilemma. The people can’t just go back to being hunters because Western comforts and culture are too enticing, but they also can’t abandon their culture or else their purpose for living in Greenland and being proud of it is lost.

[@liii3622]

@SoCali There's still so much value in your culture, and it would be too big of a shame for the natives to abandon it. If they just moved away, their language and culture would be lost. There must be a way to get their society to function by balancing the new way of live, with the old cultural traditions. Unfortunately, it seems we don't have an answer on how to do that yet. And the dilemma seems overwhelming

[@ProtoIndoEuropean88]

@SoCali that is the stupidest thing to say, your culture is what you are born into, as your race is tied to such culture and historical roots. but because people like you can't grasp the importance of race, you will believe that an african man can belong to the japanese culture which is not possible the culture is always tied to its race, it is not a plaything for foreigners, Foreigners may try its clothes and so forth but they will never be part of it as someone that was born into it

Living in a remote and low-population community almost anywhere in the world is a tough life. One of the nice things about living in a big city is that you can reinvent yourself if you need to. You can change your job and find an entirely new circle of friends relatively easily, whereas in a really small community, everyone knows each other and everything you do is scrutinized. Imagine having a bad breakup or a fight with your boss. You'll be the talk of the town for a while...

One thing that they could do is Have an immigration program like the USA has had which will bring in a lote of wealth and improve the society as a whole since economics is not a zero sum game. Remember money isn’t wealth. Because if so, governments would be able to just print money and give it to everyone. Money is just a tool used to illustrate wealth to help improve economic transactions. Real wealth is in knowledge. A perfect example of this is when many of the rich people from Cuba where trying to flee the country for the USA because Cuba was communist and it had hard economic times. the Cuban government confiscated all of there money. However they couldn’t confiscate their wealth. The money runs out at some point. However wealth does not. They moved to America without a penny to there names. THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES are wealth. They worked hard and today Cuban Americans have a greater GDP than the entire Cuban Government. ( However a wealfair state and immingration is a deadly combination, which doesn’t lead to economics prosperity, it leads to less) the wealth of nations is in physical thing including knowledgeable humans.

You all need to realise that eventhough its the largest Island in the world it only has 50.000 inhabitants, and most of them live in small towns far from civilisation, so its hard to establish workplaces for all. Denmark pays for healthcare, police, schools and everything else just like they do on the mainland, and like on the mainland if you are unemployed you recieve a welfare check, and many danes in Denmark ho has been on social welfare a long time often starts drinking too, the only reason its such a big deal on Greenland, is because their population is so small.

Generational Trauma is very very real .. Focus on Healing Identity helps

[@oliverandm]

Whether or not you sympathize with the greenlandic inuit, and consider sovereignty their right or not, the truth is that they have little to offer the world in terms of competent labor value, and this becomes a problem once you acknowledge that they still need to position themselves financially, somehow. Denying this is hardly more unethical than simply stating they should be free to rule their own nation. Greenland is already autonomous, but without financial aid from Denmark, how do you suppose they'll fare socioeconomically? Better? This isn't Braveheart or some movie. I can sympathize with their wish, and how it pertains to some of the populations idea of identity. But the reality is that if Greenland becomes a sovereign nation, China will likely knock on the door the same day. It is already well known that China is interested in Greenland for its raw minerals, and that Greenlandic politicians have shown willingness to trade with China - something both the US and Denmark has interfered with, and of course denied their right too. Now I hardly think much of politicians in the established nations of the western world, so excuse me for harboring some skepticism towards those who would potentially come to power in Greenland - a country where opportunities of great wealth would hardly come often. It is foolish to believe that Greenland wouldn't make deals with China, and even more so to consider their politicians to have no price. The harsh reality of Greenland isn't that the country is under Danish rule, 'nor that they don't have sovereignty (albeit it's part of the grand moral dilemma), but rather that they are of core interest to China and USA/Denmark (whom actively work together) I hope things improve for the citizens. Of course I do. I am Danish, and however we can improve their situation, we should - it benefits all in the end. However, for the Greenlandic population - especially inuit people - to see better days, they need to actively engage with the opportunities at hand. There's a huge cultural gap between their original ways of living, and that which is demanded of the modern world. That is the problem. I acknowledge that there's definitely a moral argument for sovereign rule, but as I stated early on it's hardly ethical to abandon them. Even if Chinese influence would be beneficial for the region, there's still the question of where it leaves the West. At the end of the day, any citizen of the western world should understand that there's little reason, if any at all, to let China broaden its grip on the poverty-stricken parts of the world. Do not underestimate the expansion of Chinese territory around the world; it's a part of their plan to create distribution- and trade routes that they manage, and whatever money flows through that is not going to gain the western world.

[@KotBlini]

the truth is these people always had miserable lives even before western rule. they were always on the brink of starvation, their prime motivator was immediate survival and their entire culture, society and family structure was based around this. without this constant striving for survival there isn't really much to do or much to living there, just a cold hard rock, where the young perish and the old linger.

[@DeadBunny69]

Their lives weren't miserable. What's different is their lives once had a purpose. They don't have that now due in large part to Denmark's intrusion. Life was hard, sure, but they had a community and family to support each other. The introduction of alcohol to their native culture has devastated this structure. That's been the case with many Native American tribes as well. These people are genetically predisposed to alcoholism. That's why many US and Canadian reservations and Inuit towns are dry and alcohol is banned. If a population of 1,500 is burying a teenager to suicide every month it's time the town follows suit and ban alcohol.

[@nuclearcatbaby1131]
