, 17:26, November 10, 2008→Eskimo
:Like the Wikipedia article, our draft equates "Eskimo" and "Inuit". I'm looking for any evidence that the two words mean the same thing - or on the contrary, evidence that some Eskimos are not Inuit (or vice versa). I want you to find out about this. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:14, 10 November 2008 (EST)

::Ed, the change you've made is not accurate. While Eskimo may or may not refer to Inuit, Aluet, Yupik individually or as a unified subculture, it is not a distinct term on its own. There is no "eskimo" language nor culture, it is a term, not unlike "sioux" that was applied by non-indian people to a group that is not a singular group. --[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 12:26, 10 November 2008 (EST)
