Actually the quiz was asking about the Inuit, a people who live in the remote northern regions of Canada. Most Canadians don't even know much about them.
We just split one of our northern territories in two and gave them autonomy over one of those pieces, Nunavut -- a piece roughly the size of Texas.
The Inuit may be known to some as the Eskimo people, stereotypically seen as living in igloos (not true). However, they find that term derogatory, as it was given to them by European explorers despite thier objections. "Inuit" is thier name for their own people.
Most Canadians simply say "Thank You" like everyone else.
Imagine that. We're not the Americans' crazy neighbour in the north. We're just like most of the world, except for the snow and ice and the 'normal' cultural differences, eh?
