Some Eskimos live farther north than any other people. The name Eskimo comes from an American Indian word meaning eaters of raw meat. Eskimos call themselves by words that mean people. They use the words Inuit in Canada, Inupia t and Yupik in Alaska, and Yuit in Siberia and St. Lawrence Island. Use dictionaries to define unfamiliar terms.
