More information

According to a list from Greenland's self-government many of the days in the list have wrong names (the linked document is both in Danish and Greenlandic - so you can compare with the Danish names - that's what I did). Currently, they are a mix of French and English.

Thanks for the info the source we used had only English information.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Greenland

Can you add the English name to the holidays? What do the following words stand for? (Dansk, Kalaallisut, Uge, Dato, Fridag)
