The guardian's historical overview is a bit lacking. The "Inuit" didn't exist in 2500BCE to inhabit Greenland. The Arctic small tool tradition did, but the branch which inhabited Greenland isn't the one that modern Inuit trace their ancestry to and it went extinct when the Dorset culture disappeared. The Thule culture that became modern Inuits arose in Alaska around 1000CE and spread eastward. Modern Greenlandics are related to those first inhabitants, they simply weren't Inuit.
