In past discussions regarding development (of non-living resources) and indigenous people, a strong tendency existed to understand the act of development as a one-way impact from an outside society. This was often labelled as “environmental racism” and interpreted as a form of ethnic discrimination deeply intertwined with environmental issues. However, this view contained an element of confirmation bias regarding development and indigenous people. For example, it has been reported that in Alaska and elsewhere, indigenous people have taken initiative in developing non-living resources, making it clear that indigenous people are not necessarily passive subjects on whom development is unilaterally imposed. In this paper, after examining recent trends in the development of non-living resources, I shall take up the development of such resources in Greenland with the goal of sorting out and extrapolating the main arguments in the debate, especially within the self-rule government, regarding how the wealth obtained through the development of non-living resources should be enjoyed, while focusing on the notion of sustainable development and taking into consideration previous studies from the field of political science.

格陵兰非生物资源开发的轮廓

在过去关于（非生物资源）发展和土著人民的讨论中，存在一种强烈的趋势，即将发展行为理解为来自外部社会的单向影响。这通常被贴上“环境种族主义”的标签，并被解释为一种与环境问题密切相关的种族歧视。然而，这种观点包含了关于发展和土著人民的确认偏见因素。例如，据报道，在阿拉斯加和其他地方，土著人民已主动开发非生物资源，这表明土著人民不一定是单方面强加发展的被动主体。本文在考察了非生物资源开发的近期趋势后，
