[Sca-cooks] knives

Actually, I'm informed that's no longer true.  Eskimo is being used as the
reference, according to what I hear.

Even if it is not, it is inaccurate to use Athabaskan or Inuit.  Those are
merely two TRIBES.  There's also Yupiq, Inupiaq, Aleut, and so on.

The term "Arctic Native" would be more accurate, to distinguish between,
say, Yupiq, and North American Natives, like Klinkit/Tlingit.
