"Eskimos"[edit]

I notice the word "Eskimos" in the article. Isn't that term generally considered an insulting slur? - Jmabel | Talk 03:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Several days, no reply; since I don't know what specific tribe/nation I will substitute "Alaska Natives". - Jmabel | Talk 07:15, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At least you're not employing the awkward contextual hole known as "Inuit". In Alaska, "Inuit" typically refers to Canadian indigenous people. So I thank you for that. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 23:02, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article name[edit]

There is some confusion concerning the article title. St. Michael is used in the lead and the "Geography" section. In the "Demographics" section "Saint Michael first appeared on the 1880 U.S. Census as the unincorporated Inuit villages of "Saint Michael and Tachik".", and "It returned in 1890 as Saint Michael. After this St. Michael is used.

I will add "Saint Michael" as an alternate spelling but there needs to be some tie-in as to why it is referred to as the shortened "St. Michael" in the title. Otr500 (talk) 01:47, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
