Akunnaat (older spelling: Akúnât) is a former community in southern Greenland on the island of Akonemiok or Qeqertarsuatsiaat,[1] [2] 3miles from the trading post of Fisher's Inlet (da|Fiskernæsset, the modern settlement of Qeqertarsuatsiaat).
The settlement was founded as the Moravian mission of Lichtenfels (variously translated from the German as "Light Rock", "Light of the Rock",[3] or "Rock of Light"[4]) by Matthias Stach, the brothers Jens and Peter Haven, and four Inuit families in 1748,[5] 1754,[6] 1757,[7] or 1758.[8] Following the first conversions in 1760[8] or 1761,[7] the population of the settlement rose to around 300.[8] The mission was surrendered to the Lutheran Church of Denmark in 1900.[9]
