"Floyd L. Davidson" wrote in message ... I have yet to meet a Canadian or Greenland Eskimo who actually got upset about the term Eskimo. What they get upset about is the attitude of *people*, not the terminology. Every single one of them that I've met were well aware of the proper use of the the term, and had no problem with it. You realize of course that it is rarely ever needed in Canada or Greenland, simply because all of the Eskimos there are indeed Inuit. Floyd L. Davidson http://web.newsguy.com/floyd_davidson Ukpeagvik (Barrow, Alaska) Well Floyd, I guess there are some people in the USA who don't get upset over the term "******" but most do. There are some people in the USA who don't get upset over the term "Eskimo" but most of the Inuit in Canada do get upset over this usage of a term from the past. James D. Carter |
