Zusammenfassung:	“Shot a polar bear in front of his house,” was the sentence that accompanied the above image (Image 1.). It appeared several times in myFacebookfeed on January 24, 2014. This was a shared link from the Greenlandic newspaperSermitsiaq AGregarding Gedion Kúnak, a hunter in Kulusuk who had shot a polar bear from his doorstep. His daughter Justine, then 22 years old, had spotted the bear that was standing in the same spot she had just stood with her friends moments earlier. According to East Greenlandic tradition, the first to see the bear is the official hunter.
