Rocket Baby Dolls posted:This video in particular deals with, I'm going to guess with the ethnicity and i apologise if I'm wrong, Ace visiting an Inuit village. Transfer this to a 90s comedy game based on a film with a very specific brand of humour. While some portion of the indigenous peoples of Alaska can be classed as Inuit, it's not a term generally used there. The Inuit there are basically all Inupiaq, and the Yup'ik are the biggest group of Arctic natives in the state. There's a map here that shows the rough regions of ethnic groups. You're probably fine with 'Alaskan native'/'indigenous' in this situation . The game is very obviously just playing to 'Eskimo' stereotypes. Obviously 'Eskimo' is to be avoided because it's a overbroad term another group called them, that the Europeans used instead of calling the people by the name they would use for themselves. Not to mention the cultural baggage and stereotypes (there's also a false etymology that it was offensive, which affects perception of the word rightly or wrongly). 'Inuit' would be appropriate for just about all of northern (especially northeastern) Canada, as well as Greenland, though.
