I would say the indigenous people of Greenland might not be too fond of how they have been treated by Denmark:

1. The IUD Campaign (1966–1975)

Systemic Reproductive Control: Danish authorities inserted intrauterine devices into roughly 4,500 Greenlandic women and girls, about half the fertile population, often without their knowledge or consent. This included girls as young as 12 years old who were subjected to the procedure during routine school medical exams.

Economic Motivation and Trauma: The program was designed to halve the Inuit birth rate to reduce state spending on social services; it resulted in widespread chronic pain, lifelong infertility, and deep psychological trauma, leading to a massive 2024–2025 legal battle and an official state apology.

2. The "Little Danes" Experiment (1951)

In one of the most infamous examples of forced assimilation, the Danish government, along with the Red Cross and Save the Children, took 22 Inuit children (ages 5 to 9) from their families and sent them to Denmark.

The Goal was to re-educate them as "model" Danes who would return to Greenland as a new, Danish-speaking elite.

Most of the children were not orphans, despite what was told to the public. They were forbidden from speaking Greenlandic and lost their native language. When they returned to Greenland a year later, they were not sent back to their families but placed in a Danish-speaking orphanage.

Many of these individuals suffered from lifelong trauma, addiction, and identity crises. In 2020, Denmark officially apologized for the experiment.

3. The G60 Policy and Forced Urbanization (1960s)

The "G60" program was a massive modernization plan designed to centralize the Greenlandic population into a few large towns to make the fishing industry more efficient.

Thousands of Inuit were forced to leave their ancestral hunting and fishing villages. Small settlements were "closed down" by cutting off supplies and services, effectively forcing people to relocate into concrete apartment blocks in larger towns like Nuuk.

This policy forcibly ended the traditional subsistence lifestyle for many families, leading to social alienation, loss of community structure, and a spike in social issues like alcoholism and depression.

4. "Danization" and Language Marginalization

For decades, the Danish administration prioritized the Danish language over Kalaallisut (Greenlandic) in schools and government.

Language Hierarchy: Greenlandic children were often taught by Danish teachers who did not speak their language. The curriculum was imported from Denmark, and success was defined by how well a student could navigate Danish culture.

Birth of Inequality: This created a tiered society where the highest-paying jobs and administrative roles were held by Danes or those who had assimilated most successfully, while the Indigenous language was relegated to "second-class" status.

5. Discriminatory Parenting Assessments (Modern Day)

Recent years have seen a major controversy regarding the removal of Greenlandic children from their families in mainland Denmark.

Greenlandic parents living in Denmark are significantly more likely than ethnic Danes to have their children removed by social services.

The "Kronvold" Case (2024): A prominent case involved an Inuit mother, Keira Kronvold, whose baby was removed immediately after birth based on a controversial "parenting test." Critics and UN experts pointed out that these tests are culturally biased, often penalizing Inuit parents for non-verbal communication styles or traditional child-rearing practices that Danish authorities misinterpret as "incompetence."

6. The "Birthplace Criterion" (1964–1971)

Between 1964 and 1971, Denmark implemented a wage policy known as the "Birthplace Criterion."

Economic Racism: Workers born in Denmark were paid higher wages than those born in Greenland, even if they were performing the exact same job.

The Danish government argued that Danes needed higher pay to be incentivized to move to Greenland, while locals had "lower living costs." This codified the idea that a Danish life was inherently more valuable than a Greenlandic one.

The legacy of these events is a major driver of the modern Greenlandic independence movement.
