Aki-Matilda Tilia Ditte Høegh-Dam (born 17 October 1996) is a Danish-Greenlandic Siumut politician who currently serves in the Folketing. She was elected to the Folketing during the 2019 Danish general election at the age of 22, becoming its youngest member.[1]

Early life

Born on 17 October 1996 in Hillerød, Aki-Matilda Tilia Ditte Høegh-Dam is the daughter of Kim Høegh-Dam, a fisherman and seaman, and Bitten Høegh-Dam, a schoolteacher.[1] The youngest child in the family, she has two brothers and two half-sisters on her father's side. She is half Danish and half Greenlandic with two Danish and two ethnically Greenlandic grandparents. She was brought up in Sisimiut on Greenland's west coast.[2] When she was 15, as a volunteer in Nakuusa (UNICEF's project in support of Greenlandic children),[3] she went on a trip around Greenland's coast during which she discussed politics with a friend. As a result, she decided to join Siumut, a social democratic political party. After joining the party's youth organization, her interest in politics continued to grow.[4][5]

After graduating from high school, in 2014 she began studying political science at the University of Copenhagen and graduated in 2019. In 2015, she participated in the Miss Denmark competition. Although she finished in sixth place, the event did much to draw attention to her in Greenland.[6][4]

Political career

In the Danish general election on 5 June 2019, Høegh-Dam was one of two Greenlanders who succeeded in becoming members of the Folketing. Expressing strong support for Mette Frederiksen, head of the Social Democrats, she campaigned on the basis that Denmark should take more care of its responsibilities for Greenlanders. She also supports independence for Greenland.[7]

During a parliamentary debate on 3 October 2024, Høegh-Dam was asked to leave the podium by Folketing speaker Søren Gade after she broke Folketing protocol by delivering an eight-minute speech in Greenlandic, rather than Danish, explaining Siumut's political position on human rights abuses including the spiral scandal: although she had distributed written translations to other legislators beforehand, convention dictates that speeches must either be given in Danish or translated into Danish immediately afterwards.[8][9]
