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)

The definitions seem to change according to the age of the articles. The more recent stuff refers to the groups individually and seems distinguished by language groups. Eskimo seems to be a derogatory term (eaters of raw meat) The three remaining groups seems to be Inuit (multiple tribes) , Yupik, and Aleut. [[User:Markr|Markr]] 12:48, 10 November 2008 (EST)

its going to take some work if this article is left in Eskimo. All of it refers to the Inuit peoples who are a subset of Eskimo. There are enough cultural differences between the groups to keep them seperate. How about moving this back to Inuit and having a Eskimo page that links to it and Aluet ?

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? --Ed Poor Talk 12:41, 10 November 2008 (EST)
