Abstract

546 Scandinavian Studies sources, while neglecting to treat piracy emanating from Europe or to consider climatic changes and the decline of available ivory. Nedkvitne pushes these aspects aside as part of the “politically correct” perspective on Norse- Inuit interactions in Greenland. This is hardly an academic argument. Nedkvitne is responsible for methodological blunders similar to those he accuses other scholars of committing. Though he accuses other scholars of failing to analyze and read sources, Nedkvitne demonstrates a lack of knowledge of the literature that exists outside medieval Icelandic and Nor wegian manuscripts Norse Gr . eenland operates with a source hierarchy that follows an ethnic hierarchy in which Inuit reports find themselves at the bottom tier.

In this Norse Gr way, eenland is an odd expression of Norwegian national romanticism that seems to argue that the North Atlantic belongs to Norway at the expense of Inuit, Norse Greenlanders, and Icelanders.
