Another volume shows traditional marine transportation, see Greenland in Art Ships and Boats.Greenlanders today represent a blend of Inuit and mainly Danish ancestry, with Inuit culture playing a dominant role. Many Greenlanders identify strongly with their Inuit heritage and maintain traditional practices like throat singing and drum dancing.Modern Greenland has long since switched to fishing, see authors¿ book Greenland in Ships with advanced modern transportation, see Helicopters in Greenland and Airplanes in Greenland.Greenlanders also focus on the development of tourism as an important contributor to the Greenland economy.Previously there was more mining here and Greenlanders hope this industry will take off again, see authors¿ book Greenland Arctic Flashpoint.
