Welp. This is awful. What terrible news. I couldn't have more hope for a people than I do for the Inuit. But setbacks never rest. Still called 'Eskimos' -- a loaded and non-native term -- by so many, even the simple awareness of the name of their people has taken so long to grow outside of Canada. And they have suffered so much already.

I mean, Jesus wept. The Inuit of Nunavut have the highest suicide rate in the world.
