why is the narrator blurting out annoying ass things omg

random i$ra€el mention

regardless, the term is now known as offensive & is also too vague. per the text, it lumps tg the ppl who lived from the coast & interior clans of AK to Greenland; it'd be like talking ab "european" culture instead of distinguishing between Brits, Italians, etc.
also Arctic diets ate raw meat to get Vit C and avoid scurvy. consuming raw marine animals' flesh/organs was a necessary adaptation to Arctic life (2/2)

antiquated name for native alaskans "esk*mos" supposedly means eater of raw meat. altho most linguists think thats that translation, derived from colonizers, is derogatory. instead the name probably comes from an Algonquin phrase meaning netter of snow shoes (1/2)

"in some arctic cultures, expectant mothers got elaborate thigh tattoos so that the first thing the baby saw upon entering the world was something of beauty" 🥲
