Aleut is a type of Eskimo. Inupiaq and Yupik peoples are also considered Eskimo (There are more, just using these as examples). Eskimo is a term used to describe several different groups of indigenous people, just as Cherokee, Navajo, Crow and others are classified as Indian.

If Native Americans came from Asia are there any Asian words found in Native American languages?

I don't know if there can be found any words (because I can't find any dictionary on the Internet of a Siberian language or a Native-American one), that are the same. But there are still some languages in Siberia (Russia), that are part of the Eskimo-Aleut language family, an North-American language family, this could prove that the Eskimo-Aleut languages (and other languages in America) have there origins in Asia.
