Yeah, I fully agree with them here, it is increadibly insulting.
She could simply have celebrated the achievement of having done the solo trek at all, or she could have bragged a bit more while still being somewhat respectful by saying that she was the first British woman to do the solo trek, that would still acknowledge the Inuit population and their achievements as well.
But no, she just had to be the FIRST EVER woman to do this in all of history.
Hey now she may not even be the first British woman, what with hundreds of years of British colonial history in the region. Also the Norse Greenlander colony was documented in the Sagas as having Celts pissing about during some of the early Vinland expeditions and those became so common later on that they stopped being recorded because it was basically a grocery run.
