Not that it's a big deal because I don't think it is but the Eskimos can do a lot to turn this thing around.
The term Eskimo is somewhat derogatory but I also believe that most Inuit either don't care about the name or don't want the Esks to change it. I think it's very small group who want a name change.
The Esks can honour Inuit members at games much as they do for members of the Canadian armed forces. President Len Rhodes regularly hosts groups in his box for games and he can do this for Inuit members. They can send players up for speaking engagements and school visits. They can sponsor some post-secondary scholarships.
