Well, since this is a picture of a man dressed in traditional Kobuk costume, if we wanted to get REALLY pedantic, we would say Inupiat.

I know that folks in Greenland and Canada consider Eskimo pejorative (for odd and complicated reasons including a folk etymology of the word Eskimo) but it still gets used in the states because Alaska has folks who are part of the circumpolar indigenous milieu typically termed Eskimo, but who are not Inuit.
