02 — THE TUNUMIUT WAY
A tradition shaped by land, lineage and relationship.
PLACE / PEOPLE / CONTINUITY
The Association is rooted in the living East Greenlandic Inuit — Tunumiut — tradition.
Its knowledge cannot be separated from the people, land, relationships and generations through which it has been carried.

Knowledge has a place.
EDITORIAL COPY · APPROVAL PENDING
East Greenland is the place from which this tradition is carried. The regional context of Ammassalik / Tasiilaq, and relationships with land, sea, weather and seasons, belong within that understanding.
Settlement and movement are part of this context. Further place-specific text will be confirmed with the Association.
