    Eskimo (or Esquimaux in French) is a term for the indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia), across Alaska (United States), Canada, and Greenland. The term is considered by many to be pejorative, although it is not, in its linguistic origins, a fundamentally offensive word. Alternate terms, such as Inuit–Yupik, have been proposed, but none have come into widespread acceptance.
