The Southeast Coastal Indians (Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian). The Athabascans (Cree). The Aleuts. The Eskimos (Inupiat and Yup'ik).
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".

They are the same thing they just have different names. The Eskimos did not like the meaning of the name Eskimo (Eaters of Raw flesh) so they go by inuit which means people in their language!
