The ammassalimmiut from the east coast of Greenland, were the last Inuit to contact with the white people, when the Danish explorer Gustav Holm located them in 1884. They are the last survivors who directly descend from the Dorset culture rather than the Thule culture as the rest of the Inuit groups that inhabit the Arctic. This gives them a unique culture that is particularly evident in the dialect they speak, hunting techniques and artistic productions that differentiate them from the rest. In this expedition we want to experience fully their living off the land techniques in an extreme natural environment and teach their culture, history and current life. Most Inuit live today between modern and traditional, their culture is in danger and disappearing as a result of climate change. This expedition aims to teach useful skills and knowledge and protect this very special and unique culture of the Inuit.
