Suffice to say that the article Steve Sailer wrote and your niece basically said the same thing. Your niece wrote she is an Inupiaq Eskimo and Mr. Sailer made reference to the Yupik. The term "Eskimo" is a generalization that groups all the native people of Alaska, Siberia, Labrador and the northern coast of Canada into one group.

I met a Yupik speaking woman who identified as Eskimo and when I pressed which tribe under the Eskimo umbrella - she informed without hesitation that her tribe was ESKIMO! She comes from a family of both ancient and modern whale and seal hunters. She had just lost her brother to a hunting capsize - a fairly common occurrence apparently.

The people who do not want to be called Eskimos are the ones who aren't Eskimos, but Kotzebue is blessed with them. You did give me the opportunity to add a link on the subject--I just put it at the end of the post.
