Kinda, I believe a lot of Arctic settlements get government funding to help keep them afloat. Some amount of it is probably a type of reparations to the native communities, and some to maintain military infrastructure, to keep a foothold in the north, otherwise it can be hard to establish bases of operation if they have to just ride in north of 60 and set up camp.
