During a thirty year period from the 1950s onwards Greenland saw major societal change as the country went from being a colony of Denmark to a fledgling nation with aspirations of becoming independent one day. What had taken Europe 300 years to accomplish during the industrialisation was more or less forced upon the indigenous population of Greenland in 30. This had great consequences on every aspect of the Inuit way of living and was for many a devastating blow to living a harmonious life. More than 70 years have now passed since Greenland lost its status as a colony, and now new changes are on the horizon. Changes that are not necessarily for the good.
