I considered "Inuit", but thought that "Inuit" related to "Eskimo" as
"Cherokee" related to "American Indian" (also no p.c. but common usage until
the last 20 years or so).  So, I guess the [OT] pop quiz of the day is (fill
in the blank):

    "Native American" is to "American Indian" as ______ is to "Eskimo".

Anyone in the .ca domain care to educate the .us folks?

Indeed.
