Can some help me say this sentence another way? A couple of different options would be helpful...
Inuit means "the people who are alive at this time" in Inuktitut and refers to the people of "Eskimoid" ancestry inhabiting northern Canada. The term Eskimo, a Cree Indian work meaning "eaters of raw meat," is considered derogatory and is no longer used in Nunavut.

I see nothing wrong with the basic structure. "Inuit", the Inuktitut word meaning "the people who are alive at this time", refers to the northern Canadian people of Eskimoid ancestry. The term "Eskimo", a Cree Indian word for "eaters of raw meat", is considered derogatory and is no longer used in Nunavut.
