#qimmeq
Sled dogs are fundamental to Greenlandic (Kalaallit Nunaat) culture and history -- they have been for millennia. The dogs there are generally referred to as Qimmeq, plural Qimmit, and are very closely related to, but distinct from, the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky.

The Greenland sled dog, or Qimmeq (plural Qimmit), is one of the few dog breeds that can still be found pulling a sled. They have been much more isolated genetically than other traditional sled dogs and are now facing a decline in population. Among the reasons: melting ice. @Phys.org@flipboard […]

Greenland's Qimmeq sled dogs trace 1,000 years of human migration and survival in the Arctic. Genomic data now reshapes what we know about Inuit history. #Archaeogenetics #Greenland #SledDogs #Inuit #HumanEvolution #Paleogenomics #Anthropology @science.org

Today’s Siberian huskies and Alaskan malamutes are frequently bred as companion animals, but sled dogs in the Arctic, in particular the large, thick-furred Qimmeq (plural Qimmit) from Greenland, have worked alongside humans for a millennium.

Happy to announce that our study examining the genetic history of the Qimmeq (Greenland Sled Dog) came out today in Science.

Greenland sled dog DNA is a window into the Arctic’s archaeological past A genomic analysis of Greenland’s Qimmeq dogs suggest they and their human partners arrived on the island centuries earlier than previously thought.. @cosmicmeta.io #Dogs

I met Milak during fieldwork in Uummannaq - calm, curious, and always up for a pet. She now stands at the National Museum, part of Greenland’s living heritage.

Filmed yesterday at the Greenland National Museum for Desafío Ártico with Manuel Calvo Villena.

I spoke about qimmit, Inuit hunting culture, and Arctic heritage.

The mounted dog is Milak, met during fieldwork in Uummannaq.

And yes - practical shoes. 🐾❄️

Hello Bluesky - Some wonderful news!
Based on our research, the Greenland sled dog has been listed in Guinness Book of Records as one of the world's oldest dog breeds, it has been a privilege to be a part of!
