The Natives of Old Chenega were NOT Inuit.

[edit]

Inuit is not a euphemism for Eskimo. It is a language group. And the people there on Old Chenega, or their ancestors, would have spoken Alutiiq. The weren't Eskimos. Inuit is the language of Greenland and parts of Canada. There are people in Alaska who speak an Inuit-family language, but they call themselves Inupiaq, and the people of Old Chenega were not Inupiaq. The Inupiaq live up North, a thousand miles and more away from Old Chenega. It is like calling all Europeans "Romans", because there is some Latin in many European languages. Before you start calling people strange names, you should talk to one of them and see what they want to be called.Hypercallipygian (talk) 00:12, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, "an unincorporated Inuit village (all 80 residents were Inuit)" is false, and its true is "an unincorporated Sugpiaq village (all 80 residents were Sugpiaq)"--Kmoksy (talk) 02:37, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
