Greenlanders
Nuuk's home population
Greenlanders are the people of Greenland, the world's largest island, located between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.
The population is predominantly Inuit (Kalaallit), with a smaller Danish-descended minority.
Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, and its people hold Danish citizenship.
Greenlanders have their own parliament and handle most domestic affairs.
