Denmark never sterilised Greenlandic women anymore than they did their own countrymen in Denmark. the only particular effort was in a removable contraceptive. Such efforts were called upon by the inuit Greenlandic leadership.

The "forced relocations" were due to famine!!! The towns were unsustainable due to extreme population growth.

> Greenlanders had unbroken settlements in their lands for a thousand years.

plainly wrong. Just like the Norse, the previous Greenlandic settlers died out.

> Norway is right to give away an island with an inuit population to Denmark in 1814 or whatever?

not only do you lack knowledge of North American history, you do not know the relationship between Norway and Denmark. Would you say the same thing about Iceland, because they are not Brown?

An utterly strange comparison.

The current Inuits are no more "native" than the Norse settlers, and in fact arrived later than the Scandinavians.

Comparing the treatment of Greenlanders in any way to "genocide" is terrible. A "misguided" Western intervention, perhaps, but mostly at the wish of the Greenlandic heads.
