Aasivissuit-Nipisat. Terres de chasse inuites entre mer et glace

Located in western Greenland, this site comprises two separate areas that represent the hunting grounds of Inuit peoples in the Arctic environment. The landscape is characterized by the transition zone between sea ice and open water, where traditional hunting practices have been sustained over centuries. Archaeological evidence and oral traditions document the adaptation of Inuit hunters to the extreme climate and seasonal variations of this region. The site encompasses both terrestrial and maritime hunting territories, reflecting the integrated relationship between Inuit communities and their environment. The physical remains, including hunting stations and settlement patterns, illustrate the sophisticated knowledge systems developed to exploit Arctic resources. This cultural landscape is significant for demonstrating the continuity of Inuit hunting traditions and the deep connection between indigenous peoples and their northern territory.
