Divine to give up a little time for Northern people (5)

I believe the answer is:

inuit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'northern people' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for inuit that I've seen before include "Arctic residents" , "A North American eskimo" , "Arctic dwellers" , "Low-quality China tea" , "found in Greenland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
