Pretty much. White people didn’t move up there en mass because there was no farmland. That doesn’t mean we don’t show up when there’s something of actual intrinsic value, though. Like the diamonds around Yellowknife, which is the one thing in the North you could call a city.
Up on the arctic coast it’s like the Europeans never arrived, if you imagine they developed rifles and skidoos independently.
