Inuit are the peoples who live in and around the Arctic. From the tip of Russia to the east of Greenland, the Inuit refers to the people formerly called the "eskimo" The term "eskimo" comes from a Native American word that could have meant "eater of raw flesh" and is now considered derogatory by many of the people. The people prefer the name Inuit which means "THE PEOPLE" or "THE REAL PEOPLE". The word comes from a language called Inuit-Inupiaq. When speaking of a singular person one should use the term Inuk or "person"
The tribe is all Inuit but can be designated by the area they come from, such as the Mittimatalik Inuit of Baffin island or the Northwest territories Inuit.
