The Black Angel: Unveiling the Toxic Legacy of Lead Pollution in Greenland.
I am the "Black Angel" ...
"The Black Angel" is not just a song; it's a haunting reminder of the environmental tragedy that unfolded in the heart of Greenland. This track takes us back to the days when the Black Angel lead-zinc mine in Maarmorilik was in operation (1973-1990), leaving behind a dark legacy.
The mine's relentless pursuit of profit led to the pollution of the entire fiord, where many of us grew up. The consequences of this greed are slowly emerging, casting a long shadow on the community's health and well-being.
"The Black Angel" isn't just a song; it's a call to action. It sheds light on the health risks we all faced due to lead pollution. The title itself, "The Black Angel," reflects the sinister nature of unchecked corporate greed.
Join us as we explore the song's powerful narrative, reflecting on the impact of environmental recklessness and advocating for a cleaner, more sustainable future for our beloved Greenland. Let's work together to ensure that the legacy of "The Black Angel" isn't just a warning but a catalyst for change.
Sometimes it's much easier to convey the message when it's packaged in a sweet song. Make no mistake; I have witnessed the consequences firsthand. The agenda is clear; they are attempting to depopulate the small settlements to gain access to these vast sources of natural resources in the future, all while the native population disappears.
Local pseudo-activists and academics from the south perpetuate inaction on disastrous mining, further dividing society. They prioritize currying favor with local power brokers, using manipulative rhetoric, while our country's environmental woes persist.
