And they have oftentimes really beautiful views.

And when...

When you look at the oral stories, you can also see this close connection to some of their favorite sites.

So there is no doubt in my mind that sometimes before you died, you could say, I really want to be buried here or there.

But then you could be buried behind the settlement and you could be buried with the clothes that you were wearing, of course.

But also your hunting gear, if you were a man, your sewing kit, if you were a woman, and also your cooking pot.

So that soapstone land, for example, or cooking pot itself.

If we also see small children being buried with a dog, for example, so maybe it was a favorite animal or friend, or maybe this dog was supposed to help you to

the next world to the realm of death and accompany the child on that journey.

Well, the prehistory of Greenland is...

just so rich in its material, but also on the different perspectives that it teaches us about humans that entered that part of the world.

So I think it's a good chance to get to know more about Greenland and the history there that all of a sudden became

the eye of the storm, but what is it actually?

What kind of home is it to what kind of people?

And when we look closely, we often find out or rediscover that we are not so different.

We can recognize you like the idea of the dog being buried with the child, right?

And we oftentimes see those things, even in

the forest culture that we imagine oh i'm i'm never gonna be able to recognize myself in this but then again we are just humans and we have just made homes on different parts of the same world and we have different conditions but some of the same feelings and problems

I am working on a new project called Liquidize.

So we will be looking into the climate changes in Greenland and what effect it has on the communities there, but also for the potentials of hydropower, for example.
