"Eskimo" means "eater of raw flesh." They don't actually eat raw flesh [okay. maybe a little bit.] That would be gross. The name was given to them by mistake. They call themselves "Inuit", which means "The people".
how does that relate to the term "Indian"?
Eskimo is a Indian word. Also, they were both given to them by mistake. Chris Columbus thought he was in India, so he called them "Indians." It was all a big mistake.
