By what name do eskimos like to be called?
The word "Eskimo" is no longer acceptable in many areas of the North. While it is still used in Alaska. The Inuit people of Greenland refer to themselves as "Greenlanders" or "Kalaallit". Inuit meaning "people," is used in most of Canada.

It's all about the environment. The far North, there is no wood, and very little vegetation. So, the Inuit built shelters from animal skins in summer, and snow in winter. They ate mostly meat - they can get nutrition from fat, and muktuk (narwhal blubber) is a favourite - they eat it like candy. Pure fat.
