À propos de ce contenu audio

In this episode, we follow the story of Hans Egede, the Norwegian-Danish missionary who landed in Greenland in 1721, hoping to find the lost Norse settlements. Instead, he encountered the Kalaallit Inuit, whose culture and beliefs he struggled to understand. We explore Egede's mission, his clashes with Dutch whalers and Danish traders, and the unintended consequences of his work: the introduction of writing, the spread of disease, and the beginning of colonial rule. We also discuss the Moravian Brethren's mission at Neu-Herrnhut, the role of Inuit intermediaries like Arnarsaq, and how Egede's legacy is viewed today. This episode covers a pivotal turning point in Greenland's history, when European contact shifted from sporadic to sustained, setting the stage for centuries of change.
