The Southeast Coastal Indians (Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian). The Athabascans (Cree). The Aleuts. The Eskimos (Inupiat and Yup'ik).
There are some 20 native tribes and cultures in Alaska, mostly originating (long ago) from Asia. Most prominent are the Inupiaq, Yupik, Aleut, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian. In Alaska, describing them as "Eskimos" is politically correct. The Canadian and Greenland Eskimos usually insist on being called "Inuit".
tlingit
The Tlingit people are from southeast Alaska. I am Tlingit.

eskimos
Alaska has a population of around 730,000 people, with a majority being White (64.1%), followed by American Indian and Alaska Native (15.6%), Asian (6.5%), and Black or African American (3.9%) individuals. The state has a relatively low population density and a sizable number of indigenous peoples.
Eskimos
No, we are eskimos.
They are the same thing they just have different names. The Eskimos did not like the meaning of the name Eskimo (Eaters of Raw flesh) so they go by inuit which means people in their language!
