I've observed that indigenous people live in numerous areas in the Arctic (Alaska, Canada, Russia, etc.), yet I couldn't fail to notice when reading Iceland's history that it had no mention of indigenous people there. Why weren't there any indigenous people in Iceland?
Similar questions have come up several times in the past few weeks...u/sagathain recently answered What were Irish monks doing in Iceland before the first Norse settlers arrived?
It's not quite what you're asking, but it's about whether there were any Irish monks there before the Vikings. In either case there was apparently no indigenous population before them.
