I think the term “Eskimo” is one of those terms which is now considered an insult. Sort of like colored people is now an insult, though was once a commonly used term.

I believe the correct PC term is First Peoples.

I believe Eskimo is an insult to the Alutes and other native tribes from further south. Eskimos are northern dwellers. I don’t suppose the Eskimos have a problem with it.
