Greenland's Stolen Indigenous Children by Helene Thiesen
In this book, author Helene Thiesen recounts her experience of being forcibly removed from her family in Greenland as a young Inuk child, to be 're-educated' in Denmark and an orphanage in Greenland. With an introductory analysis from Stephen James Minton, the account serves as a powerful testimony of a devastating colonial experiment.Helene Thiesen was one of the twenty-two Inuit children who, in 1951, were taken from their families in Greenland to be ‘re-educated’ in Denmark. After a career in children's education herself, she has written a book about her experiences, which appears here in English for the first time.
Stephen James Minton is the translator and editor of this book. He is an Associate Professor in Applied Psychology at the University of Plymouth, UK, and a part-time Associate Professor in the Department of Education at the University of Southeastern Norway.
