Why aren't eskimo's called eskimo's anymore?
Eskimo was given to Inupiaq Natives from the more southern natives, Indians which basically meant "Eaters Of Raw Meat"(this was the most common meaning I have come across) so they prefer Inuit(The name Inuit refers to the natives of Canada, who prefer Inuit which means people in their dialect). Here in Alaska they are usually referred as Inupiaq or Yupik(this sub category of Inupiaq has a smaller branch called C'upik and as well as Siberian Yupiks who are from Russia). Each fork in itself has its own dialect and each region of Alaska alone have different dialect. I.E. My village had it's own while the other village north and west of here have their own dialect. They are different however does not make it impossible for speech between each different dialect. The reason for the initial Nickname "Eskimo" is known to be bad was because Inupiaq and Indians were forever at war with each other early in the 1900's and earlier, and rarely had friendly encounters, or so goes from what my dad has said which was shared by his dad. Uva una aglaun. Which when roughly translated means "Here is pencil" in a dialect from a village near mine. I do not know much about Yupiks as I am only Inupiaq from north western Alaska. Sorry I heavily edited the last post due to huge typos as well as being hugely incorrect in context.
