About
Aleqa Hammond is a Greenlandic politician. Currently the leader of the Siumut party, she became the country's first female Prime Minister after her party emerged as the largest in the 2013 elections. Born in Narsaq, Hammond grew up in Uummannaq. She attended Nunavut Arctic College in Iqaluit between 1989 and 1991, before studying at the University of Greenland from 1991 until 1993. Her studies were never completed. She was first elected to the Parliament of Greenland in November 2005, and was appointed Minister for Families and Justice. In 2007 she became Minister of Finance and Foreign Affairs, but resigned in 2008 officially in protest of the size of the government's budget deficit.
