3450) Fishermen and Hunters’ Day in Greenland is celebrated on the 15th November every year: Tusass (formerly known as Tele-Post) Post of Greenland has issued a set of two stamps celebrating the Day: Date of Stamps issue: 17.10.2024:
KNAPK headquarters in Nuuk (2022):
KNAPP was founded on 10 June 1953 by fishermen and hunters together with representatives of Den Kongelige Grønlandske Handel (KGH) and Landshøvding Poul Hugo Lundsteen under the name Kalaallit Nunaanni Aalisartut Piniartullu Peqatigiit (old spelling Kalâtdlit Nunãne Aulisartut Piniartutdlo Peĸatigît ; Association of Fishermen and Hunters in Greenland).
The background to the organisation, which was initiated by the KGH, was that with the rapidly growing industrialisation of Greenlandic meat and fish production after the Second World War, there was a lack of adequate representation of fishermen and hunters, especially at the national level.
Previously, there were only local spokespeople who represented the interests of traditionally employed people. The KGH and the Danish state therefore lacked negotiating partners.
In the 1967 regional election, KNAPP put forward a list with Niels Carlo Heilmann and Hans Holm , but the only mandate allocated to parties and lists was not won with 3.0% of the vote.
In 1971, a list was put forward again. This time it received 6.5% of the vote, and Niels Carlo Heilmann was thus elected to the regional council .
Four years later, the list received 7.5% of the vote in the 1975 election, but the two candidates Lamik Møller and Asiâjuk Sadorana received a seat on the regional council with their personal votes.
In 1979, with the introduction of the Inatsisartut, parties ran for the first time instead of lists.
In 1981, KNAPP was renamed KNAPK.
Around 1980, tensions increased between the large number of private fishermen and the minority of those who operated large fishing boats on the Greenland coast.
In 1982, the Aalisartut Avataasiutillit Peqatigiiffiat (AAP) split off with the fishing companies and the following year the Aalisartut Avataasiutillit Katuffiat (AAK), which included the large private fishermen. Both associations merged in 1989 to form the Avataasiutinik Piginneqatigiiffiit Kattuffiat (APK).
Goals
KNAPK serves to represent the interests of small-scale private fishermen and hunters to the government and to support them.
In addition, the association aims to improve trading conditions, train members and inform them about technical innovations. Other goals include modernizing ports and improving infrastructure and logistics.
The fishing and hunting association KNAPK was founded in 1953 and, since then, the observance day has become a true celebration of sustainable fishing and hunting that includes communal worship, coffee and cake, competitions, folk festivities and award ceremonies.
