“Eskimo” - the people who eat blubber.

Actually they call themselves “Iniut” for the most part, but the term “Eskimo” includes all of the various people of the Yupik, Inupiat and Inuit groups. These make up a distinct ethnic group from either the Arctic Indians or the Aleuts.

All fall under the broader banner of “Native American” or “Native Canadian”.

Definitely not of European origin.

In Canada people who are neither Inuit or Metis are called by their tribal affiliation, Aboriginal Canadians, or a First Nations member. In Canada the term Eskimo was falling out of favor 50 years ago.
