SPECIAL GUEST TAAGI
IN THIS EPIDODE:
Dubside sits down with Taagi, a master craftsman and wood carver from Qaqortoq. Taagi shares his firsthand observations of the resurgence of traditional kayaking in his hometown, home to Greenland's oldest kayaking club. He reflects on the legacy of seal hunters and recounts ancient legends of violent encounters between the Inuit and Norsemen. The conversation delves into Taagi's candid thoughts on Greenland's readiness for independence and the unique challenges posed by climate change, from its impact on maritime transportation to the booming tourism industry. This is an episode rich with history, culture, and a thought-provoking look at Greenland's evolving identity.
