LMFAO of course they do...people live in the arctic im sure they can survive there too..canada isnt as cold as people think for the record..and no we don't live in igloos:)

Wow, Those islands are the to the left of GREENLAND, not Denmark, Denmark owns Greenland so thats why maps sometimes say (Denmark) below Greenland. And yes, some Eskimo people live on those islands. And Scott - I am American too, although I agree with you.

Left of Greenland, maybe, which may be marked as Denmark because it belongs to Denmark or is associated with it for administration, can't remember. There are towns or settlements in northern Canada though most are on the mainland. Iqaluit is on Baffin Island and yes, it's cold for much of the year .

Left of Denmark? Those are the British Isles. Historically the world's greatest exporter of white people. Many humans, yes.
6 :
Yes, Inuit people do. It's not "left" of Greenland, it's "west" as it is a map.

Inuit hamlets extend very far north. Still some islands are uninhabited. Some have nothing more than a research station. The hamlet of Resolute on Cornwallis Island exists as an Inuit hamlet only because Inuit were relocated to it in 1953 by the Canadian government. Little Cornwallis Island is uninhabited.

That area is called the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It is very sparsely populated, and most of the people who live there are Inuit, and many live traditional lifestyles (hunting, etc.). Approximately 14000 people live there. The largest "city" is Iqaluit on Baffin Island with about 6000 people. It is the capital of Nunavut. Despite the small population, they have things like Internet (you might get somebody from the arctic who can answer this better), but things like food and gas are REALLY expensive. Living expenses are subsidized by the Federal Government
