The first inhabitants of Greenland were the Inuit. They lived in Greenland for long periods but there were also times when Greenland was uninhabited. The first people to live in Greenland were the Saqqaq people who lived there from about 2,500 BC to about 900 BC. Greenland was then uninhabited to about 500 BC when the Dorset people came. They lived in Greenland till about the 1st century AD. The Thule people arrived in Greenland in the 10th century.
Greenland was under U.S. protection during World War II, but it maintained Danish sovereignty. A definitive agreement for the joint defense of Greenland within the framework of NATO was signed in 1951. A large U.S. air base at Thule in the far north was completed in 1953. Under 1953 amendments to the Danish constitution, Greenland became part of Denmark, with two representatives in the Danish Folketing. On May 1, 1979, Greenland gained home rule, with its own local parliament (Landsting).
The idea of the national flag first came up in 1973 when some proposed a green, white, and blue flag. The next year in 1974 a newspaper published eleven other designs out of which ten featured a Nordic Cross. No flag was chosen at the time and the plan of selecting an official flag took a backseat.
Outlined by a craftsman of Greenland, Thue Christiansen, the national banner of Greenland elements two equivalent level groups of white and red. Towards the lift side of the inside is a vast plate. The top portion of the circle is red and the base half white. The white in the banner speaks of the overwhelming snowfall experienced by the island and the red shading symbolizes the sun sparkling over the area.
In the nearby dialect, Greenlandic, the banner is alluded to as Erfalasorput, signifying "our banner". The Greenland banner is otherwise called Aappalaartoq - "the red". The term Aappalaartoq is likewise used to allude to the banner of Denmark. The banner of Greenland does not include a Nordic Cross.
