The Norse didn't settle Greenland, really. It was and is unarable, unherdable and thus unsuitable for a culture like theirs. And just like in Iceland, there was no native population at the time either. I recall the Inuit arrived around 14th century or so, and they gained their Nordic (Danish) admixture only very recently, just like it says in the abstract of the paper you link to. (Greenland is an autonomous part of Denmark.)
