Hi Dr. Sherlock: Here is another Cut & paste from the above web site:

** Tom Alton, the editor of the University of Alaska at Fairbanks' Alaska
Native Language Center, pointed out, "The name 'Eskimo' is considered
derogatory in some areas of the North but is still acceptable in Alaska,
mainly because Alaska includes Yup'ik people who are closely related
culturally and linguistically but are not Inuit. 'Eskimo' includes Yup'ik as
well as Inuit."**

You will note that Tom Alton agrees that the term "Eskimo" is considered
derogatory.
