The term "Eskimo" was historically used to describe Indigenous peoples in the Arctic, but it is considered outdated and potentially offensive. It is derived from a word meaning "to eat raw meat," which some groups find inaccurate or derogatory. Many prefer to be identified by their specific cultural names, such as Inuit, Kalaallit, or Yupik, which reflect their identities more accurately. Consequently, it's important to use the preferred terms of these communities to show respect for their heritage and culture.
Eskimos and Inuits are not the same although in Alaska, the Inuit and Yupik people are generally referred to as Eskimos.
