As an Indigenous Inuk, she finds nature to be essential for human wellbeing. She uses nature as a rich source to energize her body and soul. In Greenland, climate change is seen and felt on a daily basis. Working for mitigation and adaptation to climate change is for her, as a mother, not only vital but also very meaningful.
