Minik Wallace
Minik Wallace (c1890 ? October 29, 1918) was an Inuit who was brought to the US from Greenland along with five other Inuit in 1897 by Robert Peary
His Father's New Burial
Convinced that the remains of Qisuk and the three other adult Inuit who died with him should and still could be returned to Greenland, Kenn Harper worked his way through the resistance of the Museum of Natural History (which was reluctant to re-examine the case) and the red tape of two governments before finally being able, in 1993, to stand before a new grave in Qaanaaq in northern Greenland and witness the ceremony denied to Minik nearly a century earlier.
