| | History of Greenland |
 | | The prehistory of Greenland is a story of repeated Palaeo-Eskimo immigrations from the North American mainland. | | | After Denmark, including Greenland, joined the union in 1973 (despite the Greenlanders having voted 70.3% no in the referendum), many inhabitants thought that representation in Copenhagen was not enough, and local parties began pleading for self-government. | | | Some have argued that the coasts in question were literally green at the time due to the medieval climate optimum, while others have suspected that it was mostly a marketing scam to get people to settle there. |

| | Greenland's present population is believed to have originated with the Inuit of Northern Alaska, who migrated to Greenland approximately 1,000 years ago. | | | The Lutheran Protestant missionaries were greatly concerned that the Christian population be able to read the Bible and other religious works, and so schools were established. | | | World history with the migration of ethnic groups and the first World War were also among the subjects. |

| | In conclusion the Greenlandic peoples have to come to terms with what it is to be Greenlandic, which has, since 1953, been that a Greenlander is one who speaks Kalaallit oqaasii (Greenlandic) ñ language and culture being inseparable. | | | In 1605, with speculation flying left-right-and-centre, the Danish king, Christian IV, sent an expedition to Greenland, to claim it for the Danish crown. | | | Within a hundred years they had disappeared without a trace.[2] What destroyed the colonies we shall never know, whether it was a native attack, or blight. |

| | From Home Rule to Independence |
| | Today, the discussion on sovereignty in Greenland is beginning to roll, but the public discussion still concentrates on the preconditions for increased economic and political independence. | | | Law and order is Danish rather than Greenlandic as violence is not monopolised by the local Greenlandic home rule authorities, but by the Danish state that runs the police in Greenland. | | | The powers that the Greenlandic home rule government lacks according to the table above will be claimed in the future. |
