:I'm hoping for a general article on the native peoples of the Arctic - whether we call them "[[Eskimo]]" or something else. Before I intervened, the article that Inuit '''were''' the Eskimo, rather than a subset. Are we getting closer to the truth, or what? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:41, 10 November 2008 (EST)

I would like editors to consider the title of this. By all academic sources, the Indian tribes of the Arctic region are the Inuit, the Aluet, and the Yupik. Each of these three cultures has identifiable traits in language, in religion, in diet, and in society norms and morality. "Eskimo" is not a term for any tribe, nor is it considered an academic term for the Arctic people as a whole. I would like to see this article reverted to the original "Inuit". Can I have other editor's input?--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 12:42, 10 November 2008 (EST)(edit conflict)
