I'm a Northern Cree living up in Canada's Hudson/James Bay. There was an old derogatory term we used to call the Inuit/Eskimo that could be roughly translated as raw meat eaters as the closest thing. Eskimo was, for some reason, thought to be that term for quite a long time by the white people in more urban areas. It's not. Eskimo is a term that came from somewhere else or from themselves. I think it has to do with the snow shoes, although my own people have traditionally manufactured snowshoes for time imemorial. To those who think Eskimo is a rascist term I suggest you go and see their own official papers and documents. You'll notice they use the term Eskimo as often as Inuit themselves. Both terms are generally false though since there are two major Native cultures living up in the Canadian Arctic and a few smaller clans speckled here and there.

Fair enough, but let me counter that with some wiki (as I have been shown before):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit

Or let me quote it directly:

In Canada and Greenland, the Natives prefer the word Inuit. As they consider "Eskimo" pejorative, it has fallen out of favour.

Also, my knowledge is limited to Greenlandic inuit. And they don't like the eskimo-stuff for sure.

Eskimo Means Inuit and to say otherwise is stupid infact according to Wiki:

"Eskimo peoples :
* Yupik peoples (Yupik, Siberian Yupik)
* Inuit (Inupiat, Inuvialuit, Nunavut, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut, Kalaallit)"

hence Inuit are one of two Races of Eskimo Peoples i.e. Inuit are Eskimos so stfu if you say otherwise. Trolling Retards
