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.
Eskimos or Inuit-Yupik people have traditionally lived in the regions from Siberia , across Alaska, Canada and Greenland. There are several groups referred to as Eskimo, which are Yupil, Inupiat and Aleut.
The term, 'eskimos' or 'esquimaux' was a word in other American aboriginal languages meaning 'eaters of raw meat'. 'Eskimo' is taken to be a bad word in Greenland and other places. The people called themselves, 'Inupiat', 'Yupik', and 'Aleut'. The Aleuts gradually moved east, and lost the common languages used by the Yupik and Inupiat. In time, the word, 'Eskimo' in the Alaska area came to mean both the Yupik and the Inupiat to outsiders.
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".
Sad ceremonies very rarely when they are exciting ceremonies.

Yes, Eskimos (or Esquimaux) or Inuit-Yupik(for Alaska: Inupiat-Yupik) certainly do still exist. There are well over 150,000 Inuit people and more than 25,000 Yupik.There are two main groups that are referred to as Eskimo: Yupik and Inuit. A third group, the Aleut, is related. The term Eskimo is still used in the US, but the term Inuit is more common in Canada.
