However, the indigenous peoples of Alaska include the Yupik and the Aleuts, both of whom are distinct from the Inuit. |
Although they too have had to go through many extreme lifestyle changes, Yupik are now the most dominant Aboriginal group in Alaska. |
Speakers of Yupik inhabit a region consisting of southwestern Alaska and Siberia. |
However, some Yupik live much as their ancestors did, by hunting walrus, moose and caribou, although usually with the help of modern technology. |
Today, Arctic peoples from different regions speak their own dialects of Inuktitut, Yupik and Inupiaq languages. |
The Yupik live along the eastern shore of the Chukchi Peninsula in Siberia and on Saint Lawrence Island in Alaska. |
