After a year he returned to Aasiaat, then to Qaanaaq, where he finally worked as a warehouse manager. He saw the crash of a B-52 near Thule Air Base in 1968 at close range, which was to become his life-defining political issue along with the 1953 American expulsion from his birthplace for the purpose of building Thule Air Base . In 1971 he was elected for the first time to the council of the Qaanaaq community , where he sat for many years, partly as deputy mayor. From 1984 to 1995 he was in Inatsisartut .
