Arnarsaq

Arnarsaq (c. 1716 – fl. 1778), was an Inuk translator, interpreter, and Christian convert who lived in what is now modern-day Greenland. She is particularly known for her work with the Danish theologian Paul Egede. Alongside Hans Punngujooq, Arnarsaq helped Egede translate the New Testament into Greenlandic. 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.
