I didn't know there were Eskimos in Asia.
If not, that would be where the phrase "descended from" comes in -- however, as it turns out:
"The Eskimo are the indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia), across Alaska (United States), Canada, and Greenland.[1][2][3]
The two main peoples known as "Eskimo" are: the Inuit of Canada, Northern Alaska (sub-group "Inupiat"), and Greenland; and the Yupik of eastern Siberia and Alaska."
One of my daughters' preschool teachers is Yupik. She's awesome. One of their themes of the week was about how you go hunt seals and eat them and use their skin for mittens. This is near Seattle, so if it had been stories of middle Americans hunting deer, there might have been a furor -- but this was OK. My wife and I loved it. Little ones coming home telling me how you go out on your snow machine and kill the seal and bring it home for food to feed your family.
