The word "Eskimo" is no longer acceptable in many areas of the North. While it is still used in Alaska. The Inuit people of Greenland refer to themselves as "Greenlanders" or "Kalaallit". Inuit meaning "people," is used in most of Canada.

Translated into English, Eskimo supposedly means "Raw meat eater". Not all alaskans are Eskimos. Alaska is made up of many different ethnicities and tribes. When refering to an Alaskan who is native to Alaska (e.g. Eskimo) it is best to call them an Alaska Native.

There are several tribes and folk groups called eskimos, and they have several different manes for themselves. But I think Inuit would be a good guess.
