In 1818, a British expedition led by Captain John Ross encountered a group of Kalaallit in the remote Avanersuaq region of northwest Greenland who had never seen Europeans before. Ross's men brought an Inuk interpreter from South Greenland, but he could barely understand the local Inughuit dialect. The meeting sparked a chain of events that led to the rediscovery of the abandoned Norse Eastern Settlement, whose ruins had lain untouched for over 350 years. This episode traces how the encounter unfolded, what the Inughuit told Ross about their oral traditions of the Tunit — the Dorset people who preceded them — and how the expedition's reports set off a scramble among Danish, British, and American explorers to claim Greenland's interior. We also look at the strange story of the 'Greenland mummies' — eight perfectly preserved 15th-century Inuit bodies found in 1978 at Qilakitsoq — and what they reveal about the final days of the Norse colonies. Featuring the voices of Kalaallit elders, the journals of John Ross, and the forensic analysis of the mummies, this episode uncovers a lost chapter in Greenland's long history of isolation, migration, and survival. #Greenland #JohnRoss #Inughuit #Kalaallit #Avanersuaq #EasternSettlement #Qilakitsoq #Dorset #Tunit #Norse #Arctic #Exploration #Mummies #19thCentury #OralHistory #Isolation #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
