INTERVIEWS: Long Island, ME (USA) and Kujataa, South Greenland

Interviews with residents of Long Island, ME (USA) and Kujataa, Greenland have been conducted and are being transcribed and analyzed to gain an understanding of the experiences of people living in Maine and Greenland. Common themes such as the drive toward self-determination; love for the natural environment; histories of US military presence and observation of ecological change have emerged from a qualitative analysis of the interview transcripts. Findings will be distributed through scholarly articles and public presentations, and the interviews are also informing the production of an art exhibition that is currently in progress.
