Extract

In recent years Den Kongelige Grenlandske Handel (Royal Greenland Trade Department, or RGTD) has sold about 60000 seal skins, about 4000 fox skins, and 20 to 30 Polar Bear skins annually for native hunters on the west and east coasts of Greenland. As seals predominate in the Greenland crop of skins, this paper will deal mainly with the history and conditions of the seal skin industry, and its significance for the Greenland community.
