"Inuit" and "Eskimo" are terms used to refer to indigenous people who live in the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland, and Alaska. However, the term "Eskimo" is considered offensive by many Inuit people as it was originally a label given to them by non-Indigenous people and has negative connotations. "Inuit" on the other hand is the preferred term used by the Indigenous people themselves, and it means "the people" in the Inuktitut language. It is important to respect Indigenous communities' preferences for how they are referred to, and to educate ourselves about the history and cultural significance of these terms.
