What's the population of Greenland?

Greenland has a total population of 78,300, of which native Greenlanders account for more than 80% of the total population, and foreign Danes account for about 1/6 of the total population. Greenlanders are mostly descendants of Inuit.

But they are generally mixed with early European immigrants. By A.D. 1980, the pure Inuit were only found near Thule in the northwest and in East Greenland. The inhabitants of Greenland are extremely scattered, and most of them are confined to small settlements in coastal areas.

Distribution and nationality:

The name Greenland is exactly what these Scandinavians chose. According to the Nordic epic sagar, Eriksson with red beard was exiled to Iceland for murder. The Eriksson family and their slaves sailed northwest to explore the legendary land.

When he settled down on the island, he named it Greenland (meaning "green land") to attract more immigrants (at least the fjord at the southern end of the island is still green). His brilliant plan really succeeded, and Nordic immigrants can get along well with the new Inuit.
