USAGE
The peoples inhabiting the regions from NW Canada to western Greenland prefer to be called Inuit rather than Eskimo, and this term now has official status in Canada. By analogy， the term Inuit is also used， usually in an attempt to be politically correct， as a synonym for Eskimo in general. However， this latter use， in including people from Siberia who are not Inupiaq-speakers， is， strictly speaking， not accurate. See also usage at Eskimo.
词源
