I recall when Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories (essentially the mainland Arctic) was being evacuated due to wildfires a few summers ago, the B roll footage of the evacuation queues was curiously full of Basketball Americans.
I'd have to see it myself to tell, but natives in the far North have rather dark skin, so that might be what you saw. When I visited a village in northern Nunavut, there were very few white people there, but also no black people, as far as I can remember.
In the one at the bottom, it looks like a large crowd, and I only saw 4. In the second to last, there does seem to be a larger proportion, towards the front of the visible queue, but they could easily be belonging to as little as two or three different households. I also wouldn't be surprised if they were basically the only ones there, and the "journalists" were the ones who went out of their way to take pictures of them. After all, in both cases, they were very much featured in the foreground, which doesn't seem like a coincidence.
99% of White Canadians have never set foot in Yellowknife.
You are really underselling the remoteness of this Arctic capital despite your own experience visiting Nunavut (which is less likely to suffer from mass immigration due to even smaller settlements and existing almost entirely as an Arctic archipelago with air access only).
Yellowknife should only be White and Inuit, with the White population mostly being transient working in resource extraction.
There's absolutely no reason that the front of an evacuation queue should be low class and low skilled blacks.

Check out the two photos of "Eskimos" at the bottom of the CNN article queuing to be evacuated during 2023 summer wildfires.
