Kangeraatisaaq was one of dozens of small villages along the coast which the notorious G60 Policy in the 1950s and 1960s had rendered obsolete. It was too difficult to provide these villages with the services they hadn't asked for in the first place, and too much of a drain on the Danish taxpayer to keep them afloat even though they'd already been afloat, without Danish kroner, for centuries. Besides, joked the Danes, their names were too hard to pronounce.
