| | White Dove's Native American Indian Site Eskimo (Yupik.Inupiat/inuit) |
 | | Contemporary Eskimos believe in supernatural beings with whom ordinary people interact. | | | The Inupiaq and Inuit people speak localized dialects that stretch in a continuum from Norton Sound in Alaska northward and all the way across the continent to Greenland. | | | Another Eskimo belief was that the spirits of whales, after spending time in the human community, returned to their home under the sea and reported on the human behaviors they had observed to the other whales, their reports, in turn, had an effect on the spring whale hunt. |

| | Eskimo groups in Siberia call themselves Yupigyt, a term which means "authentic people" (from yuk, person) It has become more customary for ethnographers to refer to them as Siberian Yupik (instead of "Siberian Eskimo"). | | | The clan elder was a man, and his sons and nephews were privileged in the group. | | | (These islands have been unpopulated until the Russians imported Aleuts there in the 19th century.) 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). |

| | Also during the Russian period, colonies of Aleuts were established on the Pribilof and Commander islands and remain there to this day. | | | Thus for these schools books were printed in Soviet Eskimo (Chaplinski), Chukchi, Koryak, Itelmen, Nivhki, Even, Evenk, Nanai, and Udege (though not in Oroch, Ulcha, Orok, Negidal, or Yukaghir, because their numbers were so small; not in Kerek, Aliutor, Sirenikski, or Naukanski, because these were not officially recognized as separate languages). | | | It thus becomes a race against time to document these languages as fully as possible before they are lost, and their revival or survival as living languages in both Asia and America is a question for the coming century. |
