Do you even have a plan?
Stacey Aglok MacDonaldGUEST
Greenlandic mask dancing with Auntie Vicky.
Stacey Aglok MacDonaldGUEST
I'm thinking lights and music and a fog machine.
Matt GallowayHOST
Siya has big plans in season two of the worldwide hit North of North.
13 MINS LATER
Matt GallowayHOST
We talked about some of the pickles that Sia finds herself in.
Stacey Aglok MacDonaldGUEST
[laughs]
Matt GallowayHOST
One is, um, she puts on this Greenlandic dance show with her Aunt Vicki's help, and there's a moment at the end of that episode that I wanna play.
Matt GallowayHOST
Have a listen to this.
Victor TrevinoHOST
Supposedly, it was a tupilik, according to the natives.
Victor TrevinoHOST
A tupilik is a mystical, mystical Mythical avenging monster from Inuit religion and Greenlandic folklore.
Victor TrevinoHOST
Traditionally, an angakkuq or a shaman crafted the creature in secret using animal parts, bones, and human remains, and/or human remains, bringing it to life with chanting to hunt down an enemy.
Victor TrevinoHOST
If the target of the tupilak or tupilak possessed stronger magical power than the person that made it, the monster could actually be sent back to destroy its very maker.
TammyHOST
Yeah, karma.
Victor TrevinoHOST
S- right.
Victor TrevinoHOST
So to escape it, the shaman could say, "Look, you know, yes, I created the tupilak," 'cause I guess it's a real bad thing, and probably sh- you know, shunned in regular Inuit society or, or, uh, Greenlandic f- folklore or whatever.
Victor TrevinoHOST
That tupilak bear was supposed to measure 15 feet in length and weighed almost about 1,200 pounds.
Ole GuldagerGUEST
I think people were OK with it.
Ole GuldagerGUEST
During the war, there was a clause of non-fraternisation, which was... done by the Americans and the Danish Greenlandic government in order to make sure that not too many children would come out of this.
Ole GuldagerGUEST
It was, of course, not 100% kept.
Ole GuldagerGUEST
So today there are a number of people in Greenland who have an American grandfather and don't really know who he is.
Tom BirkettGUEST
You know, there are a lot of crosses, for example.
Tom BirkettGUEST
Almost all the, the Greenlandic inscriptions have a kind of, um, Christian dimension to them.
Tom BirkettGUEST
So there's these little kind of pockets.
Tom BirkettGUEST
And then Iceland has virtually no inscriptions, you know, or very few inscriptions, and those inscriptions tend to be from a much later date.
Scott WallaceHOST
They announced it Monday, Alex.
Scott WallaceHOST
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled a 200 million euro, or 232 million American dollar, partnership package for Greenland, signing an EU-Greenland declaration with Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
Scott WallaceHOST
The money has themes.
Scott WallaceHOST
The funds, to be invested this year and in 2027, target what von der Leyen called the big C's, connectivity, clean energy, and critical raw materials.
Keegan BillingsHOST
Now, she arrived in Greenland's capital on September 6 for a two-day visit.
Keegan BillingsHOST
Now, the visit is being seen as a show of solidarity with both the Greenlandic and Danish governments, which have both strongly rejected U.S. calls to control the world's largest island.
Keegan BillingsHOST
Now, von der Leyen, who heads the executive body of the EU, laid out investment plans for sectors such as critical minerals, satellite communications, and renewable energy in the strategically important island, which is a semi-autonomous territory of the Danish realm.
Keegan BillingsHOST
Greenland's prime minister said the island, which is sparsely populated with about 56,000 people of chiefly Inuit descent, wanted to build on its close friendship and good partnership with the EU.
WilkinHOST
And then there was Lillia, brought on for sensor data linguistics, but a real heartbeat for stories you never saw on official reports.
WilkinHOST
She'd already compiled a file on Greenlandic ghosts, local taboos, even whispers from the old camps.
WilkinHOST
She appeared distraction-prone, chasing algorithms one moment, poring over oral histories the next, but always saw patterns none of us did.
WilkinHOST
There were currents between all of us, and nowhere to hide.
WilkinHOST
Half in English, half in native Danish or the odd thread of Greenlandic, the banter at breakfast felt as brittle as frost.
WilkinHOST
What do we tell HQ about last night? Peter bit out.
WilkinHOST
Tremor, fault event.

WilkinHOST
No return address.
Mick MulcahyHOST
the feeling on the ground there before we go? What's the feeling on the ground about giving away Greenland?
DaveAUDIENCE
Oh, yeah, again, that's, again, you know, again, me being Irish here, I mean, you know, I think that's more kind of over to the Danes to decide that, but I think a lot, from what I hear from a lot of Danes, and a lot of the Greenlandic people themselves, they want to stay connected to Denmark, because Denmark is supporting them so much as well, like millions, or billions, like every year, or millions anyway, of Danish kroner, that Greenland would not be able to kind of to you know, let's put it this way, they'd find it a lot harder for things to function up there.
DaveAUDIENCE
Are you
Mick MulcahyHOST
back for fish and chips anytime soon?
Taylor StoneHOST
And my dissertation is about thank you.
Taylor StoneHOST
It's about Greenlandic hunting culture.
Taylor StoneHOST
So it's very fitting that I'm heading to Greenland the day after I graduate.
Taylor StoneHOST
And I'm so excited to be teaching a workshop out there.
Matt RutherfordHOST
And they're just sitting there like...
Matt RutherfordHOST
Saying stuff at Greenlandic.
Matt RutherfordHOST
And no, Greenlandic does not sound like that.
Matt RutherfordHOST
It sounds very different.
Matt RutherfordHOST
It's a lot of kind of QK noises.
Matt RutherfordHOST
It's a language that's a lot older than English.
Matt RutherfordHOST
I mean, English has changed a lot even in the last like five, six hundred years.
Matt RutherfordHOST
Greenlandic is a much older language.
