"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.

Эскимо́сы (эскимос. ᐃᓄᐃᑦ; или инуи́ты) — группа коренных народов, составляющая коренное население территории от Гренландии и Нунавута (Канада) до Аляски (США) включительно, и восточного края Чукотки (Россия). Численность — около 170 тысяч человек. Языки эскимосов относятся к эскимосской ветви эскимосско-алеутской языковой семьи. Рождаемость инуитов Аляски составляла 6,9 детей на среднюю женщину старше 45 лет в 1960 году, а эскимосов туле в Гренландии — по 3,5 ребёнка на среднюю женщину после окончания репродуктивного возраста в 1950 году. Антропологи считают, что эскимосы — монголоиды арктического типа (арктическая раса).
