In the west coast, in the territory of Kitaa, there is
Uummannaq Kommunea. The blazon of Uummannaq represents a white bird between two
white stripes (maybe rivers or fjords) in a blue field: I found it at www.uummannaq.gl.
For further information about the town and its surroundings, see at www.greenland-guide.gl/uummannaq-tourist.

Aachen's 1982 book [ach82], as quoted in www.ngw.nl,
says that the arms were granted in 1975 and that the bird in
question is a fulmar.

I recently researched municipal flags in Greenland by
correspondence with municipal authorities in Greenland. The
results have just been published in the Fall 2005 issue of
Nordisk Flaggkontakt, the journal of the Nordic Flag Society [joe05].
I managed to get confirmation from 15 of 18 municipalities all
using the same flag model - the coat of arms on a white field
(the colour white carries no symbolism). Uummannaq is one
of them. I was informed the flag is of the same
proportions as Dannebrog.
