Eskimo is a term used for a group of people who inhabit the Arctic regions of the earth. There are two main groups of Eskimo: the Inuit of northern Alaska, Canada and Greenland and the Yupik of western Alaska and the Russian Far East.
The word Eskimo in English is of uncertain origin, but probably came from a French word, Esquimaux, to English. Many Canadian Inuit consider the name "Eskimo" to be derogatory.
The Eskimos are related to the Aleuts who live on the Aleutian Islands in Alaska.
