I work and frequent Indian Country. All 8 tribal nations.
I can assure you they do not take kindly to that sort of thing.

Response: Why?
The Casinos of the 500 nations have various names containing words such as Fort McDowell,Tonto,White Mountain,
Agua Caliente,Bishop,Chicken,Fort Independence,Hoopa, Kickapoo, Fon du, Blackfeet,Winnebago, Saint Regis,
Confederated Tribes,Muckleshoot, and on and on and on......
Is it because there is no money to be made of the brand name Eskimo?
I'm going to be going to Alaska soon for work, so I will ask the Eskimos if this is bothering them. I mean the Inuits, er First Nation, oh that's Canada. I'm so confused!
They can take those Eskimo pies and shove em! I will never buy another one.
I've never bought them, but I'll never buy them again, too.
