Title: we might possibly be all Eskimos!
Post by: Raw Kyle on August 15, 2008, 12:18:31 am

Check this out: "The English word "Eskimo" is a Native American word which is widely believed to mean "eater of raw meat" (although this meaning is disputed)"

Also a story that it is a Cree Indian word, meaning "They eat it raw".
So we really are all Eskimos.

People of the far North like to be called Inuit (= The People) because they find the North American term Eskimo to be offensive.   Must admit that I am proud to eat Raw Meat and Raw Fish, not at all ashamed, so would be overjoyed to be called an Eskimo and find the title both dignifying and aptly descriptive.
