Inatsisartut, Parliament in Nuuk, Greenland
Description
Inatsisartut is the parliament of Greenland located on an islet in central Nuuk. The building features contemporary design and houses the 31 elected representatives who gather there for legislative sessions.
History
Greenland's parliament began operations on May 1, 1979, when the territory gained home rule status within the Danish Kingdom. This marked a significant step toward the region's political independence and self-governance.
Culture
Members conduct legislative sessions in both Greenlandic and Danish languages, reflecting the territorial linguistic practices and constitutional requirements.
Practical
Visitors can watch the representatives work from the public viewing area during parliamentary sessions. The best time to visit is during the regular session periods that occur throughout the year.
Did you know?
Since 2010, the parliament has held direct control over Greenland's mineral resources and manages substantial deposits of rare earth elements. This control gives the territory significant economic power over its natural reserves.
