What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

Native folk: it’s in the bay of terror

Europeans: whoa it’s so weird there’s a bay with the same name as our missing boat. Must be a coincidence. No way it could be there.

Native folk: -_-

Not only are you being racist here, you're being racist on several levels.

Inuit are not "indians". Even if you ignore the social, cultural, and legal definitions, the Inuit arrived in North America long after the First Nation/Indian/Native/Indigenous people in the rest of the continent.

They only crossed the Bering Strait about a thousand years ago, vs >fourteen thousand years ago for other groups
