There are four high school teams in the Lower 48 who use the term "Eskimo" for their sports teams. Each of these school districts are over 95% non-Native students. Though for many Inupiat/Yupiit/Sugpiat/Inuit in Alaska the use of Eskimo or is a personal preference, it's unaccepatable that Lower 48 sports teams to be using the term without consultation or collaboration from Inuit and Yupik communities. Some of their logos can be seen in the image above (Trigger warning).
