Danish Greenlanders are ethnic Danes residing in Greenland and their descendants.
Danish Greenlanders are a minority ethnic group in Greenland, accounting for around 11% of the territory's population.[1] Greenlandic Inuit (including mixed-race persons) make up approximately 85%–90% of the total (2009 estimate).
Attracted by good employment opportunities with high wages, many Danes settled in the town of Nuuk during the 1990s. Nuuk has the highest proportion of Danes of any town in Greenland.[2]
