The Kamasutra: Snake

One of my most recent paintings was originally named “Eskimo Sisters” until I was informed about the term “Eskimo” being derogatory. This was something I had no knowledge about prior so I thought I’d share my newfound knowledge with you all.

The claim that Eskimo is offensive is often supported by citing a popular etymology tracing its origin to an Abenaki word meaning “eaters of raw meat.” “Eskimo sisters" is a racist term that refers to any two women who have slept with the same man. It may have originated as a reference to Intuit pre-colonial plural marriages. The proper term for “Eskimo” is “Intuit” or “Aleut” depending on the tribe.


An alternative term for “Eskimo Sisters” is “Lumberjack Sisters”
