popolazioni del circolo polare artico, viventi in Alaska, Canada, Groenlandia e Siberia

AI overview

"Eskimo" is a term that refers to two closely related Indigenous peoples—the Inuit and the Yupik—who inhabit Arctic and subarctic regions from eastern Siberia to Greenland and speak related languages. The term is considered controversial because it is an exonym (a name applied by outsiders) rather than a name these peoples chose for themselves, which is why many now prefer the names of their specific groups.

Con il termine eschimese si indicano due principali gruppi etnici: gli Inuit (dell'estremo nord dell'Alaska, del Canada e della Groenlandia) e gli Yupik (dell'estremo occidente dell'Alaska e dell'Estremo Oriente russo). Gli Inuit e gli Yupik parlano due lingue diverse (Inuktitut e Yupik) che hanno comunque notevoli somiglianze dialettali. Tale esonimo, adoperato da Algonchini e Cree per indicare genericamente i popoli della zona artica, è da Inuit e Yupik ritenuto dispregiativo. La parola deriva dal cree aayaskimeew, che significa "fabbricante di racchette da neve". Da considerarsi invece paraetimologia, la molto pubblicizzata derivazione dalla parola anishinabe ashkipok che significa "mangiatori di carne cruda".
