In which countries do Eskimos live?
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.
Why did the inuit people call themselves eskimos?
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.
