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.
