While they prefer Native, there probably aren't any Native Canadians or Native Alaskans who are offended by Eskimo.

Their only offense to it is its used to describe all Native peoples in the North when they are different peoples.

Like Asian or Asiatic...a blanket term. But it's not a pejorative.

Just call them the Edmonton Inuits.

Is this any different than calling anyone with white skin white?
