"Nunarput utoqqarsuanngoravit" (Our Country, Who's Become So Old) is the national anthem of Greenland, a dependency of Denmark. With lyrics by Henrik Lund and music composed by Jonathan Petersen, the anthem was officially adopted in 1916. Since 1979, "Nuna asiilasooq" (The Land of Great Length), an anthem used by the self-governing Kalaallit people, has also been officially recognised by the government.
