No, I didn't know that. Noted. Thanks. I would spell it Innuit, though.
Are you sure about this? Because "Eskimo" is a native American word of
Algonquian origins:

Yes Harry, I am sure of it. It is a derogatory word that was given to
the Inuit by the Algonquin people.

To the people of the far north "Eskimo" is a title that they REALLY don't
like at all. In their language Inuit means "the people" and that is what
they want to be called.
