(en proper noun)Usage notes
* (term) has come to be considered offensive, especially in Canada. However, it remains an acceptable term for northern peoples in Alaska—including the Inuit (Inupiat) and the non-Inuit (Yupik)—and the only encompassing term for all of these Arctic peoples. It is also used worldwide by historians and archaeologists. The name declined in use because it was thought to stem from a Cree pejorative meaning “eaters of raw meat” rather than from the Inuit people's name for themselves, but this etymology is now discredited (and in fact, both the Cree and Inuit ate raw meat). * In Canada, (term) has been superseded by (Inuit) for the people, with that term having official status, and (Inuktitut) for the language. The Inuit group of Canada's Western Arctic call themselves (Inuvialuit). Greenland natives also call themselves (Greenlanders) or (Kalaallit), and their language (Greenlandic) or (Kalaallisut). * does not include the related (m) people ((m)).Synonyms
