Greenland adapts to change while preserving Inuit heritage
Greenland is experiencing rapid changes due to climate change and global attention. However, people there want to keep their Inuit traditions while moving into the future. In the snowy landscape, three Greenlanders were fishing through a hole in the ice. They worked carefully on the uneven ice, which could be thick in some spots and fragile in others. This activity is part of a long-standing tradition for the Inuit community. Alongside them, their sled dogs waited for food, adding to the scene of quiet resilience against a changing world. Laila Sandgreen, one of the Greenlanders, has hired ten workers from the Philippines for her cafe. Her husband, Hans Sandgreen, invests in new snowmobiles for their family-run tourist business. This industry is becoming more competitive as changes continue to reshape their environment and livelihoods.
