What “Sinilluarit, Meeqqara” Means
Greenland is the world’s largest island, most of it covered by a vast ice sheet, and its long Arctic winters are lit by the aurora borealis, the northern lights. This original lullaby, in Kalaallisut (Greenlandic), borrows both, the sleeping ice and the glowing sky.
