Most of what I know about Greenland rolling and ropes is from Dubside's two DVD's: Greenland Rolling with Dubside and Qajaasaarneq - Greenland Rope Gymnastics. There is also good information about Greenland kayaking skills at Qajaq USA. Here in California the best event to get instruction in traditional kayaking skills is at TAKS (Traditional Arctic Kayak Symposium).

If you aren't able to see the videos at the links below, you probably need the latest version of QuickTime 7, which you can download free at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Or you can always view the videos at the YouTube links provided.
