, 17:28, November 10, 2008→Eskimo: direct request for help
: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)

:The term is in use, like it or not. Do you want to help me write about the various Eskimo tribes? If not, would you at least explain who uses the term "Eskimo" and who objects to the term? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:28, 10 November 2008 (EST)
