The Greenlandic Constitution Day celebration is unlikely to be widely observed on Greenland, as fundamental issues dominate daily life rather than desires for autonomy or independence from the USA. Greenlanders prefer calling their flag “Erfalasorput” over the Danish “Dannebrog.” Many do not see a reason to celebrate the 1849 Danish constitution because it originally denied citizens rights and treated the inhabitants as subjects of a colonial territory; self-governance only began in 1979.
