In 1938, a young Kalaallit woman named Gaba was put on trial in Nuuk for having an abortion—a crime under Danish law. But her case exposed a deep rift between colonial legal codes and Inuit traditions, where midwives like oral historian Bolette Kielsen had long used herbal remedies to end unwanted pregnancies. This episode explores the trial's transcript, the testimony of angakkuq (shaman) Qitdlarssuaq, and the Danish judge's conflicted ruling that ultimately acquitted Gaba, sparking debates in Copenhagen about Greenland's autonomy. We also look at how the case influenced later reforms, including Denmark's 1939 tightening of abortion laws—and why Greenland's unique status made it a legal testing ground. A forgotten chapter in the history of Arctic medicine, colonialism, and women's rights. #Greenland #ArcticHistory #Kalaallit #AbortionHistory #ColonialLaw #Nuuk #Angakkuq #BoletteKielsen #Gaba #Qitdlarssuaq #DanishColonialism #InuitCulture #LegalHistory #WomensRights #1930s #ArcticMedicine #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
