1)"Arctic Eskimos" is a redundant phrase, since there are no indigenous
Antarctic peoples, and "Eskimos " only live in the Arctic.
2)They are called "Inuit" (Which simply means "the people" in their
language" , although there is a branch of them called the Illuvialuit.
They live in peaceful coexistance with  another northern native people
called the Dene (the second e is pronounced "eh").
3)Surely someone has answered the origional ?, so i will pass- it is a
bit like The idiot's intelligence test where they ask such questions as
"an aircraft goes down exactly on the border between Mexico and Canada.
Which side do they bury the survivors on?"
