Augo Lynge
Augustinus "Augo" Telef Nis Lynge (16 October 1899 – 30 January 1959) was a Greenlandic politician, educator, poet, novelist and Kalaaleq nationalist who was the first Greenlandic representative in the Danish parliament and died during the sinking of the MS Hans Hedtoft.
Augustinus Telef Nis Lynge was born 16 October 1899 in the settlement Fiskenæsset (Qeqertarsuatsiaat) 130 km south of Godthåb (Nuuk) as the son of the local catechist Pavia Lynge (died 1943) and his wife Bendthea (née Heilmann). He had five siblings.
Lynge graduated from Godthåb Seminarium in Nuuk in 1921 as a teacher and went on to complete several courses at Jelling College from 1922 to 1923. He subsequently completed a special course in a school in Copenhagen from 1923 to 1924 before working as a teacher at Godthåb Seminarium. In 1930 Lynge went on to be a teacher at the Nuuk College.
Augo Lynge married Qetura Heilmann (born 4 December 1901 in Godthåb), daughter of hunter Peter Heilmann and Martha Holm, on 12 July 1925. Qetura died in 1939.
He married for the second time on 8 December 1940 to Emilie Lund, the daughter of carpenter Peter Lund and Helga Møller. They remained married until Lynge's death in 1959.
Lynge started in politics in 1930 when he was elected to the municipal council in Godthåb, and became of the council in 1934. He ended his term as chairman in 1938 and also ended his term in the councils itself in 1942. In 1941 he also founded the youth association 'Nuvavta qitornai' which was founded to arouse the Greenlandic youth to greater political awareness and responsibility.
Lynge was a member of the Danish parliament's Greenland Committee in 1939, 1945–1946 and 1951–1953. After that he was elected in 1951 to the National Council and its Greenland committee until 1953. He was by 1950 Greenland's leading political personality because of his political thoughts which were motivated by the desire to bring the Greenlanders out of stagnation, poverty, ignorance and disease by developing society and bringing it up to a modern standard in all areas of Greenland.
Lynge, along with Frederik Lynge, became the first Greenlandic representatives to the Danish parliament in 1953, during this time he also became Chairman of the Greenland People's Educational Association, a position he held until 1955. He remained a member of the Danish parliament until his death. In 1952 he became a Knight of the Order of Dannebrog.
