Шаблон:Infobox settlement

Akunnaat (older spelling: Akúnât) is a former community in southern Greenland on the island of Akonemiok[1] or Qeqertarsuatsiaat,[2][3] Шаблон:Convert from the trading post of Fisher's Inlet (Шаблон:Lang-da, the modern settlement of Qeqertarsuatsiaat).

The settlement was founded as the Moravian mission of Lichtenfels (variously translated from the German as "Light Rock",[1] "Light of the Rock",[4] or "Rock of Light"[5]) by Matthias Stach, the brothers Jens and Peter Haven,[6] and four Inuit families in 1748,[7] 1754,[1] 1757,[6] or 1758.[8] Following the first conversions in 1760[8] or 1761,[6] the population of the settlement rose to around 300.[8] The mission was surrendered to the Lutheran Church of Denmark in 1900.[9]
