I agree that the withdawal of Denmark will bring casualties but I would expect at least 30.000 inuits to survive (hunting, fishing...).
42,000 of the 57,000 live in cities of more than 1000 people. Without fuels and given the really rough terrain, I am not sure that towns of that size could support themselves by hunting and coastal/ice fishing.
