| | White Dove's Native American Indian Site Eskimo (Yupik.Inupiat/inuit) |
 | | The Eskimo and Aleut peoples occupy the northern North American coastline and nearby islands from Prince William Sound in south central Alaska westward and northward in Alaska, across the Bering Sea to St. Lawrence Island and eastern Siberia, and around the continental Arctic coast eastward across Canada to Quebec, Labrador, and on to Greenland. | | | Contemporary Eskimos believe in supernatural beings with whom ordinary people interact. | | | 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. |

| | Proto-Eskimo-Aleut reconstructions are not attempted (not because this would be especially difficult the comparative phonology of Eskimo-Aleut is fairly well understood, and the relationship is virtually certain but because it falls outside the primary mission of the dictionary). | | | Although this is the first comprehensive comparative dictionary of the Eskimo languages, it is the cumulative product of nearly two centuries of Eskimo (and Eskimo-Aleut) linguistics, beginning with Rasmus Rask. | | | Ten varieties of Eskimo are compared, including five Inuit dialect groups (constituting a dialect chain with minimal mutual intelligibility between groups at the extremes), four Yupik languages, and Sireniski, the nearly extinct Siberian Eskimo language. |

| | East Asian Studies 210 Notes: Eskimo/Aleut |
| | Aleuts are thought to be distant cousins of the Eskimo, and most linguists recognize an Eskimo-Aleut language family, whose proto-form is thought to have been spoken in northeastern Siberia over 10,000 years ago. | | | 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"). | | | (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). |
