Qajaq USA Board & Staff

Qajaq USA is the American Chapter of Qaannat Kattuffiat - the Greenland Kayak Association. We have members world-wide. Qajaq USA is one of only two affiliated "Qajaq" clubs outside of Greenland. Most "Qajaq" clubs are scattered among the small villages of Greenland and are a major impetus in keeping the local kayaking traditions alive.

Your Contribution

Qajaq USA is comprised of volunteers, so your contribution goes entirely to help fund our mission.

This includes the publication of our high-quality printed Qajaq Journal, translation costs for historical documents (some of which have never been printed in English before), funding this website and the forums, costs of organizing and holding events, and purchasing gear to be used at events. We recently purchased eight tuiliks, four aquilisaq (short skirts), three avataqs, two harpoons, three SOF (skin-on-frame kayaks) and six paddles, for use at Qajaq USA events.

Also, in striving to keep Greenland the center of Greenland kayaking and to promote "learning from the source", we have sponsored prominent Greenland kayakers and officials to visit the United States. This includes Kaleraq Bech, Maligiaq Padilla and Kamp Absalonsen.
