Kalistat Lund (born 8 May 1959) is a Greenlandic politician affiliated with Inuit Ataqatigiit and previously Siumut.
Lund was born on 8 May 1959,[1] the son of sheep farmer Christian Adolf “Dolfe” Lund (1912–2010) and his wife Marie-Katrine Lund. Through his father he is a grandson of poet Henrik Lund (1875–1948) and his wife Karoline Malene Justine Haldora Egede (1877–1979). His grandmother and father are among the oldest Greenlanders ever. His older sister is Augusta Salling (* 1954). Lund attended the Folkeskole in Qassiarsuk from 1966. He then spent a year in Denmark and then attended secondary school in Narsaq until 1978, before taking the higher preparatory exam in Nuuk in 1980. He then worked as an assistant at Narsarsuaq Airport, where he came into contact with aviation. In 1982 he began training as an aircraft mechanic, which he completed in 1986. In 1988, he completed training to become a pilot. From 1991 to 2020, he worked as a helicopter pilot.[2][1]
