no. there are two types of Eskimos: Inuits and Yupiks. the majority of them live in Alaska, but not all Alaskans are Eskimos.

First of all, "Eskimo" is a word very much disliked by the Native peoples of Alaska and elsewhere. It has a negative connotation. It is preferred to use the correct tribal name, such as "Inuit" or whatever the case may be.

No, Eskimos are tribal and are from the very North West area.

No, and to be politically correct the first nations people you are asking about are called Inuit. I didn't know about the Yupiks, interesting.
