Greenlander
Nuuk native, perhaps
A Greenlander is a native or inhabitant of Greenland, the vast Arctic island that is an autonomous territory of Denmark.
The indigenous Inuit population, known as Kalaallit, make up most Greenlanders, though the term includes anyone from the island regardless of ethnicity: Greenlanders have adapted to some of the harshest conditions on Earth.
