Hey....., my bestfriend is a whale eating(he eats them one small piece at a time, though) Inupiat!! But we both live and work in the very western and cosmopolitan city of Anchorage. And even the small villages up north are not what they once were due to outside influences.

I just don't like seeing Africans and Inuit thrown in with motorheads, Fundamentalist Muslims, ex-Rhodesian whites and American trailer trash.
I realize Africans and Inuits have their problems.
best wishes,
John
