In Denmark today, indiginous Inuit hunters from Greenland are asking Denmark’s Supreme Court to shut down the U.S. military Thule air base in Greenland. The BBC reports the base is one of the Pentagon’s most secretive and strategically important bases. The U.S. uses the base for electronic surveillance and plans to use it for the Star Wars National Missile Defense System. The lawsuit charges the Inuit were illegally exiled by the Danish government from their ancestral homeland in 1953 to make way for the U.S. base. Now they are seeking the right to return.
