PC for Eskimos?

Today I learned about the Inuit people, commonly referred to as Eskimos. I found it interesting to learn that Eskimos is a negative way to refer to these people of the north, because "Eskimo" means "eater of raw fish". This name first originated from the Algonquian family in Indian languages. Because these Algonquian languages were the first the English heard first, this is how "Eskimo" got added to the English language. I found this presentation interesting and these group of people interesting. Like discussions of other group cultures in class, I wondered if Inuits are upset about how they were being referred to as "eater of raw fish" as opposed to Inuits, which means "the people". Overall I found this information interesting because we are always talking about unrepresented groups and I think Inuits are one of these groups. Inuits are not Indians as many commonly believe, they are a separate group of people with a culture and language of their own. Some Inuits still live day-to-day as their ancestors have before them while others lead more modern lives.
