24. The National Maritime Museum doesn’t use the terms eskimo/ eskimaux.
When the Flickr community adds tags with these terms we leave them there, to make the
photographs discoverable by others. We take the representation of Arctic indigenous
peoples seriously and recently appointed a research fellow to explore this area:

If you find the presence of these tags offensive, please let us know via Flickr Mail.
