Turning into an Eskimo

Properly called Innu. They can distinguish between how many types of snow?

I am beginning to distinguish between different types of frost. Here is today's view of frost.

Please, note in the comments the kind correction and explanation regarding the words:

Innu is "Indian",
"Naskapi" and Inuit (more than 1) is "Eskimo".
Inuk means one.
Innu and Inuk means Human Being technically although I am told Inuk means "The one who is here now".

"Eskimo" is also widely considered a derogatory term in Canada.
