| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by SE. SE discusses living conditions in Grise Fiord from the time she was relocated there as part of the High Arctic Relocation in 1952 up until 1979. SE confirms earlier presenters accounts of extreme poverty, hunger, and hunger related illness leading to disabilities. SE states that conditions at Grise Fiord have increased considerably in recent decades due to regular air transport. SE also describes how he saved the life of two police officers but was never thanked for it, and how on the contrary the government has treated himself and his people disparagingly. | |
