Inuit isn’t a tribe, we don’t have tribes.
Inuit means people so u don’t have to say Inuit people cuz that’s People people.
Inuk is one person, Inuuk 2 people, 3 or more Inuit, so u don’t have to put an S after Inuit (like Inuits).

i see a lot of misinformation about Inuit being spread at the moment so let me just speak here a little.
1) there’s thousands of Inuit.
2) Inuk = singular.
Inuuk = 2 Inuuk.
Inuit = plural (3 or more).
3) Inuit, not esk!mo.
4) Inuit isn’t a tribe and we don’t have tribes.

women were respected, men were respected, people of genders beyond the binary were respected, it only became oppressive when colonizers forced the gender binary into our people and used it as a way to oppress women, and trans & nonbinary people.
