Not to defend anything Edmonton here, but I think this is just media grabbing.
When I went on a business trip to Anchorage, I made the mistake of saying Inuit. I was harshly rebuked that Eskimo was the proper term.
Unlike the Washington NFL team, the team up north there doesn't use any first nations imagry, as their mascot is a polar bear.. Also, there is the American Eskimo dog breed and all too.
