  Seriously, it's been TAGGED with "Eskimo'?

• University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections said:

  In Alaska, the term Eskimo is commonly used, because it includes both Yupik and Inupiat, while Inuit is not accepted as a collective term or even specifically used for Inupiat. No universal replacement term for Eskimo, inclusive of all Inuit and Yupik people, is accepted across the geographical area inhabited by the Inuit and Yupik peoples. In Canada and Greenland, the term Eskimo has fallen out of favour, as it is considered pejorative by the natives and has been replaced by the term Inuit. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo]

  If they're Alaskan then they're not Inuit either - Inuits are from Canada.
