Culturally, Greenland is characterised by the extreme conditions
the population has lived under and the fantastic environment for
human existence provided by nature.
Life as sealers and hunters in small isolated communities is
reflected in the language, music, myths, clothing, food, homes -
everything has been developed from the materials available and with
a frugality, ingenuity and impressive sense of strength, quality
and simplicity.
Much is history, but the cultural roots are strong and alive. A
vibrant and dynamic culture is developing in line with and with
respect for traditions and beliefs, leaving clear traces in the
culture of today in all areas.
