This name needs to go. Choose a name that isn't a group of people. Stop exploiting Indigenous culture for settler profit.
We are NOT your mascots!
to our race calling us eskimos is like telling black person a nigga we would like for them to change the name to something that is not racist to any cultures :D
Eskimo is a dene slang word for us Inuit.
