In Greenland there is no ownership of land. What you own is your house, your dogs, your sleds and kayaks. Everyone is fed. It is a food-sharing society in which the whole population is kept in mind – the widows, elderly, infirm, and ill are always taken care of. Jens said, “We weren’t born to buy and sell, but to be out on the ice with our families.
