À propos de ce contenu audio

In episode 3 of The History of Greenland, Lucas and Luna explore the Thule migration — the ancestors of today's Kalaallit who arrived around 1200 CE. They discuss how Thule people adapted to the Little Ice Age, their sophisticated hunting of bowhead whales from umiaq boats, and their use of dog sleds and kayaks. The episode also covers the mysterious Dorset people whom the Thule encountered or displaced, and the controversial 'Dorset-Thule transition' debated by archaeologists like Robert McGhee. Finally, they touch on Thule winter houses made of whalebone and turf, and the later colonial disruptions from European contact. A fascinating look at Greenland's pre-colonial human history beyond the Norse.
