| | Aleuts of the Pribilof Islands, Alaska |
 | | The Aleuts lost the rights they had held as Russian subjects and were now treated as wards of the U.S. government. | | | The Aleuts gained more political and economic control over their islands with the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) in 1971. | | | The Pribilof Islands Stewardship Program thus began with the goal of reconnecting young Aleuts with their islands and sea. |

| | Aleut - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Aleut |
| | Under Russian domination from 1740, the Aleut were forced to trap and skin sea mammals, then clean and hand over the furs. | | | Kerick Booterin turned nearly white under his oil and smoke, for he was an Aleut, and Aleuts are not clean people. | | | When hunting at sea they wore wooden visored hats that held symbolic and ritual meaning, as well as offering practical protection and focusing sound; differences in the visor and decoration indicated rank and hunting prowess. |

The term Aleut was brought by the Russians, probably by extending the Kamchatka village name of Alyut eastward (the Koraks who lived there, called Alyutor, were marine hunters like the Aleuts). |

| | Aleut is one branch of the Eskimo-Aleut language family. | | | The Russians used the name Aleut also to refer to the Pacific Eskimos, or Koniags, who inhabited Kodiak Island to the east (see the section on the Alutiiq language). | | | The greatest of these Russian Orthodox linguists was Ivan Veniaminov who, beginning in 1824, worked with Aleut speakers to develop a writing system and translate religious and educational material into the native language. |
