# Inuit means 'We the people'.
I can't remember the movie I was watching, but I learned something from film studies.

I think it was something about missionaries.

# The missionary got lost in the forest, and all the inuit people laughed at him.
"How could you get lost in the forest?" they said.

I got an A for writing an essay comparing this to someone getting lost in a supermarket.

edit: now that I think about it, it was about getting lost in the perfume section of a department store.

"It's all made of trees that look exactly the same, and by the way, I just got lost for several hours in a forest that's freezing cold and full of dangerous animals, I'm not in the mood to be laughed at right now you hateful igloo-dwelling shit" was the reply I believe.

There's no point getting indignant to a group of people you've travelled half the earth to win over.

# Yeah, if I was a missionary I'd totally smack someone in the face with my Bible if they crossed me.

# I think
Yupik and Inuit are the two main branches of Esquimaux.

(I don't think this, it's another half-remembered semi-fact from TV)
