And that's where I'm simply ignorant on the subject. I had no idea "Eskimos" was an offensive term... at all. In fact, I've referred to Inquit people as Eskimos not knowing, until now, that it was considered offensive.
The term "Indians", at least with my experience in the US, is how you refer to Indian people. When I first moved there, I was shocked when people would use the term because in Canada it's basically anything but that term.
Braves, I have no idea. Is it simply another reference to Indians/Natives/Aboriginals? A reference to a particular battle or their bravery in warfare generally? I have no idea.
