The Fishermen’s and Hunters’ Day
In Greenland, thursday the 15th of November 1990, was celebrated as »The Fishermen’s and Hunters’ Day«
It’s the second time that
the fishermen and the
hunters celebrate their
day, which was establis-
hed from a congress de-
cision in KNAPK in 1989.
The day was of course ce-
lebrated in most of the local
hunter and fishermen
unions in Greenland in seve-
ral different ways.
Generally, the day was
started by honoring the me-
mory of those killed perfor-
ming this sometimes ungra-
teful profession. In Nuuk, a
parade was held with parti-
cipation of a lot of the local
union-members, and spee-
ches were held outside the
KNAPK headquarters, out-
side the local municipality
budding and The Green-
landic Homerule, where the
minister of fishing and indu-
stry Kaj Egede received the
fishermen and the hunters
with coffe, tea and cake.
In most places coffeemik
(coffeemik is a typical Gre-
enlandic phenomenon held
at joyful occasions, where
guest are invited and served
with coffee, tea and cake)
was held for everybody
along the day, some places
dinners consisting of special
delicacies from the Green-
landic kitchen were held. In
the evening, dances were
held in several towns along
the coast.
Several locations along
the coast have shown a dra-
stic decrease in the Coastal
cod- and salmon fishing this
year, compared to 1989, ot-
her locations though, have
had a satisfactorary season.
This development of course
affected the speeches and re-
marks given along the coast
in the local unions.
Because of the failing cod-
and salmonfishing, several
towns and smaller settle-
ments sent out requests to
start trading either saltet or
frossen sealskins, proposals
were made concerning allo-
wing humpbagwhale hun-
ting and a more fair distri-
bution of the whale-quotas
to the different locations
along the Greenlandic coast.
Requests for respite concer-
ning different loans were al-
so made, and proclamations
to the elected politicians to
show understanding concer-
ning the unstable situation
with many arrears among
the population of fishermen
etc.
And at last, but certainly
not least, a lot of messages
of congratulations were sent
among the local branches of
KNAPK - and even though
it’s a little late, we of the
editorial staff would also li-
ke to congratulate the fis-
hermen and the hunters on
their day, and on their new
speech organ »Aalisaat«.
And we of course hope that
the fishermen and hunters
in the future will actively
participate in the debate
about the present situation,
the development and the fu-
ture of the fishing- and hun-
ting profession, which after
all is the most important
source of income as well as
food for the population of
Greenland.
