Just when President Trump is rumored to buy Greenland! Just kidding!
Do indigenous people anywhere ever have to apologize for anything? Are they angels? It has become a Western (lefty) mantra that indigenous people are victims and Westerners are offenders.
Were it not for conflicts with the Inuit that prevented the settlement of Greenland by Norse settlers between 900-1500 CE. How violent were those conflicts? Were massacres committed by Inuit?
"Denmark and Greenland have officially apologized for their roles in the forced use of contraception for Greenlandic Indigenous girls and women in the 1960s and 70s; ~4,500 Inuit women and girls received IUDs during that time, with many women saying they were not given details of the procedure and did not give their consent."
"... Nearly 150 Inuit women last year sued Denmark and filed compensation claims against its health ministry, saying Danish health authorities violated their human rights when they fitted them with intrauterine contraceptive devices, known as IUDs or coils. The devices, fitted in the uterus, prevent sperm from fertilizing an egg.
Some of the women — including many who were teenagers at the time — said they were not told details about the procedure or did not give their consent. Danish authorities last year said as many as 4,500 women and girls — reportedly half of the fertile women in Greenland at the time — received IUDs between the 1960s and mid-1970s. ..."
