The word "Eskimo" is not acceptable in many areas of the North. It is still used in Alaska to refer to the state's Arctic peoples in general, whether or not they are Eskimos culturally or linguistically. For example, while the Yupik people of the west prefer to be called "Yup'ik", they do not generally object to being called "Eskimo", but they resent being called "Inuit". Many Canadian Inuit consider the name "Eskimo" to be derogatory.
