This in depth discussion with James and Floyd shows the confusion about
the
natives of the North.

I found this web site and I would like to hear James and Floyds review of
the information provided.

This web site agrees with Floyd.

Hi Dr. Sherlock: The following is a cut and paste from the above web
site.....

** The word "Eskimo" comes from eskipot, an Algonquian word meaning "an
eater of raw flesh." Some Eskimos feel this attribution puts them in a poor
light with modern audiences and prefer to use other terms. The most widely
used is "Inuit" which really refers specifically to the Eskimos of the
eastern Canadian Arctic.**

This is exactly what I was referring to. I am a Canadian. The Inuit are
Canadian from the Eastern Arctic. I said that numerous times. ( You will
note that the web site is from CT. USA. )

Please, DO NOT refere to the Inuit as "Eskimos". They really don't like it
at all!
