You are displaying your ignorance by thinking that all Eskimos are
Inuit.
I live in Bethel, in western Alaska. The vast majority of the people
in our community and the surrounding area are Eskimos, and they are
not Inuit.
They are Yupik.
They usually refer to themselves as "Natives", and are not offended by
the word Eskimo.
Do a little research.
