Editing Inuit Circumpolar Council (section)

==Background==
The Inuit population includes the following groups and regions:<ref name="ICCCharter" />
*Canada: [[Inuit Nunangat]]: [[Central Inuit]] ([[Nunavut]]), [[Inuvialuit]] ([[Inuvialuit Settlement Region]], [[Northwest Territories]]), Nunavimmiut ([[Nunavik]], [[Nord-du-Québec]]), and Nunatsiavummiut or Labradormiut ([[Nunatsiavut]], [[Labrador]]) 
*United States ([[Alaska]]): [[Iñupiat]], [[Yup'ik]] (Central Yup’ik & Cup’ik), and [[Siberian Yupik]] ([[St. Lawrence Island]] Yupik)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://iccalaska.org/about/ |title=ICC Alaska – About|access-date=16 May 2024}}</ref>
*Greenland: [[Greenlandic Inuit]]: [[Kalaallit]], [[Inughuit]], and [[Tunumiit]]
*Russia: [[Siberian Yupik]] ([[Chukchi Peninsula]], [[Chukotka Autonomous Okrug|Chukotka]])

All of these peoples are sometimes collectively referred to by the [[Endonym and exonym|exonym]], Eskimo, the use of which is frowned upon by many of the Inuit, especially in eastern Canada. ICC uses the term ''Inuit'' to refer to them all, which has its own problems. One of those is administrative: an Inuk in the United States could be considered "[[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]]," "[[Alaska Natives|Alaskan Native]]" or "[[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Aboriginal American]]." The Yupik of both Alaska and Russia generally prefer being called Yupik. Inuit is currently used in Alaska but it is not a word in the [[Yupik languages]], nor a word which they traditionally used to describe themselves. Eskimo, which was formerly used in Alaska is generally dying out.<ref name="kaplannew">{{Cite web|title=Inuit or Eskimo: Which name to use? |publisher= [[Alaska Native Language Center]], [[University of Alaska Fairbanks]]|url=https://www.uaf.edu/anlc/resources/inuit_or_eskimo.php|access-date=2 April 2021|website=www.uaf.edu|first=Lawrence |last= Kaplan}}</ref>
