In Canada, the Inuit people are referred to simply as "Inuit," which means "the people" in their language, Inuktitut. They are one of the three main Indigenous groups recognized in Canada, alongside First Nations and Métis. The term "Eskimo" is considered outdated and potentially offensive, so "Inuit" is the preferred and respectful terminology. The Inuit primarily inhabit the northern regions of Canada, especially in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and parts of Quebec and Labrador.
