Dictionary
In·u·it also In·nu·it (in'yu-it)
n., pl. Inuit or -its also Innuit or -its.
A member of a group of Eskimoan peoples inhabiting the Arctic from
northern Alaska eastward to eastern Greenland, particularly those of
Canada.
USAGE NOTE The preferred term for the native peoples of the Canadian
Arctic and Greenland is now Inuit, and the use of Eskimo in referring
to these peoples is often considered offensive, especially in Canada.
Inuit, the plural of the Inuit word inuk, “human being,” is less exact
in referring to the peoples of northern Alaska, who speak dialects of
the closely related Inupiaq language, and it is inappropriate when
used in reference to speakers of Yupik, the Eskimoan language branch
of western Alaska and the Siberian Arctic.
