NANOK

North-East Greenland Company NANOK (Nordøstgrønlandsk Kompagni NANOK) is a private, voluntary, non-profit organisation founded in 1992 and since its foundation sponsored by Aage V. Jensen Foundations.

The aim of Nanok is a.o. to contribute to disseminate knowledge of North-East Greenland and its cultural history and to contribute to securing the cultural monuments and restoring old trapper cabins in the area. The buildings are made available to researchers from i.e. The Greenland Institute of Natural Resources as well as a.o. the Joint Arctic Command and the Sirius Dog Sledge Patrol.

Since 1991 Nanok has restored and maintained about 50 old historical buildings and for this achievement received much support and recognition, e.g. from the Greenland Selfrule and Greenland National Museum & Archive.
