shawnaleeah re: Arctic Animals
Hi there,
I just wanted you to be aware that the Canadian Native groups in the Arctic prefer to be called Inuit, which means 'The People,' owing to the fact that they were the first and only group to have lived there this long. The word 'Eskimo' means 'Eaters of Raw Flesh' and is considered to be offensive to these people.
I cannot speak for the American Native population in the Arctic; perhaps 'Eskimo' is not offensive to them. As such, keeping the word 'Eskimo' will only narrow your range of customers.
Thank you,
