   From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz   
      
   Inuk (Inuvialuk) writer.   
   Born 1930, at:   
   - Baillie-Hamilton Island, Nunavut (says Crystal). But no indigenous   
   population of this island is mentioned.   
   - Baillie Island, Northwest Territories (says Wikipedia). This is more   
   likely.   
   Lived in Souris (Manitoba), later in Ireland.   
      
   Published two autobiographical books: My Name is Masak (1977) and The   
   Restless Nomad (1992).   
      
   Crystal quotes passages relating to the present state of the Inuit   
   language and the difficulties of carrying it on.

   Is it OK to use "Eskimo"?
