Do Eskimos really live in igloos?

The word Eskimo is not an Eskimo word. It means "eaters of raw meat" and was used by the Algonquin Indians of eastern Canada for these hardy neighbors who wore animal-skin clothing and were adept hunters. The name became commonly employed by European explorers and now is generally used, even by Eskimo. Their own term for themselves is Inuit (the Yupik variant is Yuit), which means the "real people."\n\nThey are the native inhabitants of the seacoasts of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and the northeastern tip of Siberia. Their habitation area extends over four countries: the United States, Canada, the USSR, and Greenland. \n\nWherever they live--Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Siberia--the Eskimo are now much involved in the modern world. Not only have they wholeheartedly adopted much of its technology, but they also use imported food, clothing, and house forms; similarly, their educational, recreational, economic, religious, and governmental institutions have been heavily influenced by the dominant European, Canadian, American, and Soviet cultures. Traditional practices and beliefs have not so thoroughly changed that most Eskimo can be termed assimilated or acculturated, especially in matters relating to social organization and child rearing. Significant changes have begun to occur in all areas of their way of life as a result of sustained contact with the outside world.

I think you meant "eskimos."  \nI don't know if there is any special name for such a stick, but how is this in any way related to Etiquette?

They eat whatever they like, sort of like in the United States and the rest of Canada. The official language is French though many speak English too. I have visited Quebec, but didn't live there. They have some nice skiing.

Not if you move to Northern Canada, and live in the wild. There are chain of lakes up there with plenty of wildlife and food sources. You could build a cabin, or maybe just find an abandoned one. It's real possible, unless your a sissy and have to live with Capitalism.

Yes they do. Look out below.\n\n*edit* I grew up in Wyoming along a migration root for Canadian Geese. There were some species that would winter in our lakes as well so we had geese year round.\n\nI can tell you that they poop in flight because through the years many of my friends and myself had our cars dive bombed while driving. A few had the misfortune to get hit themselves.\n\nIt doesn't hurt, goose poopie is soft, like a grey green pudding. It's just embarassing, especially when it's 10 degrees outside and it literally becomes a "steaming pile" on your head.\n\nElaborate enough for ya?
