Greenland is a net loss for Denmark. We know why Trump wants Greenland. He's told us repeatedly, in depth. Now, why does Denmark want Greenland? What benefit does it give to Danes? National pride? Nostalgic thoughts of Viking colonies & empire? Answer us, Denmark. We'll wait.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: "NATO has been dealing with us on Greenland. We need Greenland for national security very badly. If we don't have it, we have a big hole in national security."
THE "LITTLE DANES PROJECT" AND FORCED ASSIMILATION OF GREENLANDIC CHILDREN
The Little Danes experiment (also known as the "Little Danes Project" or simply "the experiment") was a controversial social initiative carried out by the Danish government in 1951, during Denmark's colonial administration of Greenland. In the post-World War II era, Danish authorities, along with organizations like Save the Children Denmark and the Red Cross, sought to "modernize" Greenlandic society by creating a new generation of Inuit individuals who could serve as a bridge between Danish and Greenlandic cultures. They believed Danish society and culture were superior and that selected children could become an educated, Danish-speaking elite or "ruling class" to help develop the island. To achieve this, 22 Greenlandic Inuit children — aged roughly 4 to 10 years old (mostly between 6 and 10) — were chosen, often by local priests and teachers based on criteria like intelligence and perceived potential. Although the plan initially targeted orphans, many had living parents and families. The children were transported by ship from Nuuk (Godthab) to Denmark, where they were placed with Danish foster families for about a year and a half. There, they were immersed in Danish language and customs, forbidden from speaking Greenlandic (Kalaallisut), and essentially re-educated to become "little Danes." The intention was for them to return to Greenland as role models and agents of modernization. The project ultimately failed tragically. Six of the children were adopted by their Danish foster families and stayed in Denmark. The remaining 16 were sent back to Greenland in 1952 but were not reunited with their biological families. Instead, they were placed in a Danish-speaking orphanage in Nuuk run by the Red Cross, where they continued to be isolated from their communities, prohibited from using their native language, and had little or no contact with relatives. This separation caused profound trauma, identity loss, language barriers (many forgot or could no longer speak Greenlandic fluently).
