Arnarsaq

Arnarsaq (c. 1716 – fl. 1778), was an Inuk translator, interpreter, and Christian convert who lived in what is now modern-day Greenland.[1][2] She is particularly known for her work with the Danish theologian Paul Egede.[2] Alongside Hans Punngujooq, Arnarsaq helped Egede translate the New Testament into Greenlandic.[1] She had an important position in the Danish missions among the Inuit on Greenland in the 18th century, and has also been portrayed in fiction.
