| | Inuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | By the late 1920s, there were no longer any Inuit who had not been contacted by traders, missionaries or government agents. | | | Indeed, Canada has, metaphorically, adopted the Inuit as a sort of national mascot, using Inuit symbols like the inukshuk in unlikely places, such as its use as a symbol of Vancouver's Olympic bid for 2010. | | | In recent years, circumpolar cultural and political groups like the Inuit Circumpolar Conference have come together to promote the Inuit and other northern people and to fight against ecological problems, such as global warming, which disproportionately affects the Inuit population. |

| | Inuit language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Saying "Peter speaks Inuit" is a very strange usage that most people who are familiar with the Inuit language would recognise as suspect, comparable to asserting that Hispanics must speak "Hispanic". | | | In other cases, Inuit are named after dead people or people in traditional tales, by naming them after anatomical traits those people are believed to have had. | | | Early forms of the Inuit language were spoken by the Thule people, who overran the Dorset civilisation, which had previously occupied Arctic America, at the beginning of the second millennium. |

| | For example, while Inuit uses umiaq for ‘boat’, Yupik languages use some form of angyaq; while Yupik uses maklak for ‘bearded seal’, Inuit uses ugruk. | | | Another Eskimo language, the virtually extinct Sirenikski of Siberia, is usually grouped with the Yupik languages although it may actually constitute a third distinct branch. | | | Lexical change is also encountered and consequently, while two adjacent dialects of Inuit are usually mutually intelligible, speakers from very distant dialects would not easily understand one another. |
