Show notes

In June 1951 a group of 22 Inuit children were sent from Greenland to Denmark to be re-educated as 'little Danes'. The hope was that they would help create a new and modern Greenland. Helene Thiesen was among the young indigenous children who took part in this social experiment.(Photo: Helene Thiesen as a child, courtesy of H. Thiesen)
