Nunatta Qitornai (Danish: Vort lands efterkommere, English: Descendants of Our Land) is a separatist political party[1] in Greenland advocating independence. It was founded in September 2017 by former Minister of Business, Labour, Trade and Foreign Affairs Vittus Qujaukitsoq, who had previously been in Siumut[4] and who was subsequently elected in the 2018 Greenlandic parliamentary elections. In the 2021 elections the party lost its seat.
