As the first article linked to explains:

> the language family is generally called Eskimo or Eskimoan, because it includes the Yup'ik languages of Siberia and Alaska as well as the Inuit languages from the northeastern half of Alaska across Canada to Greenland

And I've heard Eskimo is a preferred collective term for North American indigenous arctic dwellers, because Inuit is just one tribe/ethnicity among a few!

So it goes.

Just think about it from the other direction.

To most Australian Aborigines, whites are called "Hollanders".

How much are you offended by that?

> How much are you offended by that?

Tremendously :P where I'm from "hollander" is a type of pipe fitting.

Well, you should have discovered Australia first then.

.. but I am thinking about if from the other direction.

From the perspective of the non-Inuit Eskimos.
