Is it true that Eskimo is an acceptable term for all Indigenous Arctic peoples?
No. A Wikipedia reference states that Eskimo is a controversial umbrella term covering Inuit and Yupik but generally excluding Aleuts, and is widely seen as offensive in Canada and Greenland; a Canadian history text says Inuit are wrongly referred to as Eskimos. Together these indicate the term is not acceptable for all Indigenous Arctic peoples.
