That is foggy data. Seems somebody thought there were 60k real natives back when the Russians owned the space. Current real native population is about twice that. White folk back 70 years or so were mostly on bases, with a small population of a few thousands civilians colonizing or small time placer mining. Well under 100k humans. > > >> The lecturer and audience of old farts were quite vocal and emotional >> about how it was not socially justice enough. > > Huh? Food security - the natives are eating western food and getting mega illness, while Greta Thunderburg is making the arctic too warm for critter hunting and fishing to keep traditional food on the table. That white folks are evil and not eating enough local produce, as it is much less expensive to have it barged up than to support the hobby farm ecosystem costs the environment requires.
