In 1920, a fleet of Kalaallit kayakers from the Upernavik district paddled over 300 kilometers to confront rival Inuit groups near the Thule region. This little-known conflict — the last naval battle fought entirely in kayaks — erupted over contested hunting grounds for narwhal and walrus, resources vital for survival in the High Arctic. Lucas and Luna explore the tensions between the Inughuit of the northwest and the Kalaallit of the central coast, the role of the Royal Greenland Trading Company in stoking competition, and how the introduction of rifles and wooden boats destabilized traditional hunting practices. They also discuss the peace brokered by Danish colonial officials in 1921, which imposed European boundaries on indigenous territories. This episode draws on oral histories collected by Knud Rasmussen and later anthropologists, revealing a subtle but fierce struggle for dominance in a world of ice and open water. #Kalaallit #Inughuit #Upernavik #Thule #KayakWar #Narwhal #WalrusHunt #KnudRasmussen #RoyalGreenlandTradingCompany #Qaanaaq #1920 #ArcticConflict #InuitHistory #Greenland #OralHistory #NavalBattle #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
