The irony is that it's also 100% their own choice to live and work in the Danish factory towns. Even those who work in the factories can come and go as they want. They wanna go out fishing in the middle of a work day they just go and nobody stops them, they don't get fired over that.
If they wanted to live by themselves out on the tundra that was always allowed, the Danes won't go out on the tundra, they stay in town at all time. Some Inuits do live out on the tundra in temporary settlements, living of seal and whale meat for months in a row. They are the only ones allowed to hunt whale too, special rights designed specifically so that they can live self sustainable in their own settlement if they wanted to.
Yet they always come back, to work, make money and buy Danish liquor. And they have the guts to complain about colonization. Even tho the Danes were there 200 years before the Inuits arrived.

>Even tho the Danes were there 200 years before the Inuits arrived.
And after the Inuit genocided every single one of the previous inhabitants, with zero mixing.
Same for the Inuits in Canada and Québec.
Never let them try to falsely claim ''indigenous'' status. The Inuits in Québec arrived a few decades before the French. If the Inuits are ''natives'', then the French are too.
But we all know what the ''Progressives'' mean by ''Indigenous''. It means ''whoever was there last, 5 minutes before White people''.
This is why they don't consider European ethnicities as the Indigenous peoples of Europe.
Building some sort of permanent settlement should also be a requirement. Otherwise we'd have gypsies claiming the whole world even though all they ever did was traveling from place to place, stealing from the locals and then somehow leaving behind several truckloads of trash on the ground.
Historians makes a distinct difference between hunter gatherers and farmers back in the early days. The inuits are till hunter gatherers.

I was about to say, pretty sure Greenland and its black gravel craglands were fully uninhabited before Danish explorers and exiles showed up.
The first nation folks were at most using canoes and hollowed-out logs, but they certainly weren't crossing the oceans, not even the water between the coast and the island.
Correct, those waters are full of large blocks of ice and high waves. Small canoes would have no chance and even inuits can't survive falling into ice cold water. The Danish Vikings had reasonably big ships that could travel across the ocean. They were also first in US and Canada. Even if they never built a lasting settlement there.
Without the "colonists", the population of Greenland would be a few thousand stone age savages. Though now they are mostly savages with cell phones.
