(did I send this one already or ?)

Like the term Eskimo? A term in Canada that has negative like
"flesh eater" has become a badge of pride in Alaska, wierd how
that goes.

Not a nice word, but here in Alaska it is the only thing that
keeps the different groups together. They had in the past, old
feuds and such..

Chupiq, Siberian Yupik, Yupik, Inupiaq, Eyak, Aleutiq and
Sugdiaq (sp), let alone those outside of Alaska in Siberia and
Canada/Greenland.
