The town of the greenland halibut - High school

Halibut have been caught in Greenland for the last 4.400 years. But what does the future look like? Various groups of fishermen exist with differing or even conflicting interests. Obvious is the opposition between the big companies and the local population. The companies use big boats while the locals have dinghies, dog sledges and snowmobiles. In January 2022 fishing quotas were changed from being released on a monthly basis, to avoid ruthless exploitation, to being given free for the whole year in January. This is just one or two dilemmas concerning fishing in Greenland.

More problems or dilemmas exist relating to the future of fishing in Greenland. Think! – or search the Internet to find some. Practise viewing a case from both sides and giving arguments for each of them.

You are to place the seven peoples that immigrated to Greenland since 2500 BC on the timeline below. The sticks on the timeline have been distributed at random; they must be moved to hit the relevant year.

In the Inuit religion the shaman, also called Angakok, is the link between humans and invisible spirits; he enjoys great respect. Inuit live in intimate interaction with nature, and this close relationship is reflected in religion. In the podcast you heard about how people in Ilulissat are grateful to the shaman for all the good halibut, because he fell on his bottom on the Icefjord, and thus showed people where to fish. There is a Greenlandic legend that tells about the relationship of the shaman to the Mother of the Sea.

The legend describes how the greed of Inuit makes the sea dirty. The dirt sticks in the hair of the Mother of the Sea, and she becomes ugly. When this happens, she gathers all the game animals in her hair, to make Inuit learn to behave. The shaman's job is to dive down and clean her hair, so that the game animals will be let loose, and Inuit again can hunt and fish. The shaman also learns what Inuit can do better and passes this wisdom on to the community. The task You must imagine that you have to tell a story about the Mother of the Sea to someone who never heard it before. You must write the story yourself, record it, and insert it on page 22-23 Furthermore you shall make an illustration for your story. The illustration also goes on page 22-23.

Now you shall listen to a podcast called The town of the Greenland halibut. In this you hear about how the halibut makes Ilulissat a town that is awake around the clock. You will also learn about the Stone Age people, the shaman, the missionary and the difference between fish from northern and southern Greenland. To listen to the podcast, click on the picture named THE TOWN OF THE GREENLAND HALIBUT. On the following pages you are to use your preferred note taking method to write a summary of the podcast. Some suggestions are given; you may delete those that you do not want to use.

The mayor, Palle, tells that the first Stone Age people arrived at the Icefjord 4.400 years ago, and ever since hunting and fishing has been the foundation for living. Let us have a look at the various peoples that settled in Greenland through time and influenced Inuit culture. The immigration can be divided into four waves: The first wave In 2500 BC the first people, Independence 1, immigrated from Northern Canada. They lived primarily by hunting musk oxen and seals. The last finds from the Independence people is dated around 1700 BC. The second wave In 2400 BC the Saqqaq people arrived. They were good at hunting whales, seals, fish and land mammals. The Saqqaq culture lasted until 800 BC.

The third wave This wave brings two peoples: Independence 2 in 800 BC and Dorset 1 in 500 BC. The Dorset 1 people introduced the ulo, a women's knife, which is still in use today. Possibly they were the first to build igloos. They lived primarily on reindeer, musk oxen and other land mammals. The fourth wave Here three peoples arrive: Dorset 2 in approximately 900 AD, the Norse precisely 982 AD, and the Thule people around 1200 AD. Greenlanders today are descendants of the Thule people who were a maritime culture, primarily hunting sea mammals. It was the Thule people that brought the sled dog to Greenland.

Poul Egede's diary Here I found the largest group of people I have seen anywhere in Greenland, about 20 rather big houses, like a little village. Of this they boasted and and asked if I elsewhere had seen so many people in one place. I sensed at once from their speech and manners that they were proud of their number and their good catch.

The Greenland halibut is a precious and fine edible fish of great importance in Greenland. It is caught with net, longlines or trawl. In the winter a great deal of fishing for halibut goes on from the sea ice near Ilulissat. It is the only flatfish not living exclusively at the bottom of the sea. For more than 4.000 years Greenland halibut have been caught in the sea around Ilulissat. The task On the next page you find a fact box about the halibut. Read that, and answer the questions, in the form of audio files.

Here you can try to find the Icefjord Centre.

The permanent&nbsp;exhibition&nbsp;“The Story of Ice” is a presentation of the unique natural and cultural history of Ilulissat, including the climate changes that are having a dramatic impact on the area. This is the story about the creation of ice crystals in the clouds that will fall down on the inland ice, pack itself densely and with time evolve into a glacier front that will break off and become an iceberg that melts to water and then evaporates and returns to the clouds. Ice also means life to humans and animals that need the sea ice to hunt or fish. Here ice is the basis of life for nature and humans. On page 7 you can watch three videos showing the erection of the Icefjord Centre. In Danish.
