text: About two or three decades ago the ICC agreed to refer to all "Eskimo" people as "Inuit."  There has been an abundance of publicity this past year @ how "Eskimo" is considered to be a slur by many and the term "Inuit" is more respectful.  The term would include the Inupiaq, Yup'ik, Aleut, and Sugpiaq people in Alaska.
