Jacob-Peter, Kayaker | Kalaallit: Portraits of Greenland | HX Expeditions

Meet Jacob-Peter, a champion kayaker and kayak builder from Sisimiut, Greenland. He shares how kayaking is rooted in tradition and honour, reflecting a deep respect for the Arctic landscape and a craft passed down through generations. Filmed in Sisimiut, Greenland’s second largest city, this film is part of Kalaallit: Portraits of Greenland, a collection exploring how traditions continue to shape modern Greenlandic identity, strengthen community life, and reflect the dynamic, expressive spirit of the country today. Kalaallit is the Greenlandic word for Greenlanders, expressing a shared identity rooted in kinship, Inuit heritage, and a deep connection to the land.
