Many people(especially Canadians) have commented about the use of the word "Eskimo" on the map. It has a much more controversial historical context in Canadian history, compared to its usage in Alaska and the continental United States; that I did not know about. This appears to be significantly due to the fact that the Canadian government issued "Eskimo tags" which had a number instead of the bearer's name that was used for official purposes.
I would be interested to read anyone's experiences or knowledge on this topic to give further context.
The word Inuit simply means people, while the etymology of Eskimo is unconfirmed according to the below article.
In my opinion, the word "Eskimo" is not inherently inappropriate-However given it's historical context especially in Canada it harkens back to when it has been used in a bigoted context.
I would be especially interested to read any opinions from any Inuit/indigenous Arctic people and thier opinions on the term.
Below are two articles that someone has posted in the comments that you can read to get more context on this issue.

Welcome to Canada. Where many lives were once lost in the Beaver Wars, and a Department Store once owned half of our country's territory.

"The English and the French did not coexist peacefully." That's a great summary of 90% of Anglo-French relations


Jeez y'all need to chill with the political nonsense. Apparently I need to spell this out: this is a joke about the frequent wars between the Kingdom of England, later the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Kingdom (Republic or Empire) of France. It has nothing to do with the demographics of Canada, or whatever situation you may feel is in Quebec, besides that the English and French fought over Nouvelle France/Quebec a couple times, a few hundred years ago.

Lol You're definitely not Canadian. You pronounced it "New-Found-Land".
Thats WAY too proper and exact sounding.
We pronounce it like "Noofin-land".

As a Canadien Aboriginal, our country is beautiful. The natural resources here are always fought over and still are today. Not by armies, per say, but big corporations. Being Cree I will always be proud of Canada and gradually how we are trying to reconcile the nations great people. VIVA ABORIGINAL CANDIEN.

I'm from the Netherlands and my grandma lived through the second world war. She always told me about our liberation by the Canadians. It led to some of her siblings moving there and she and my mom visited them very often. They even tried to move there themselves. When I was nine, I first went there. A beautiful country, thank you so much for liberating us!

Love from the Netherlands

Canadians still call it 'The Seven Years' War'. As do the Europeans.

Literally only the USA refers to it as 'The French and Indian War'.

Just a comment to educate any viewers interested: Micmac is actually spelled Mi'kmaq and is pronounced "Mig-maw". Additionally, us Mi'kmaq traditionally referred to ourselves as L'nu, meaning people of the tongue or language. Our traditional territory of Mi'kma'ki actually covers all of the Atlantic provinces, up to the Gaspe région of Quebec, as well as a portion of Maine.

The only country in the world who gained their independence simply by asking nicely. Proud to be Canadian :)

I'm American. We couldn't have asked to have a better neighbor to our North.

[WongFeiHung]

I am Canadian and you forgot one really important thing. Nunavut became is own territory in 1999.

[larszchzsche]

we Americans refer to Canadians as our good friends from the north. i been to Canada several times and I think the Canadians are friendly and great people . all my visits i really enjoyed and been all over Canada. i like the fact that most Canadians don't talk at you from a distance they generally like to get closer the speak . great manors from great people. thank you Canada.

I was not born in Canada but the life that it made possible for me to create is something I would die and defend for. This is the greatest country in the world.

A joke I've heard in Alberta about Saskatchewan goes like this,
"Don't live in Saskatchewan,



Because if your wife leaves you, you'll see her walking away for two days."

As a stateless, Canada welcomed me 30 years ago, and I still feel I won a lottery. A brave and beautiful country not afraid to bring people from all over the world, especially refugees. My wonderful adopted country is a model for the world, I would give my life to protect it’s values.
