Inuit

The indigenous people of the Arctic regions of Canada, Greenland and Alaska.

Also called: Inuk (singular)

'Inuit' means 'the people' in Inuktitut, and one person is an Inuk. The Inuit homeland in Canada is called Inuit Nunangat. The older word 'Eskimo' is considered offensive in Canada and Greenland, though some groups in Alaska still use it for themselves. When unsure, use the name a community uses.
