 | | After the expedition a report was produced and sent out to all partners in Denmark and in Chukotka. | | | Two things became very clear during the research: Firstly, the economic, social, and political circumstances under which the Yupiget live have worsened over the past ten years. | | | Without these contacts the Danish Chukotka Expeditions would not have been possible. |

| | There are about 1,700 Yupik in Russia; only about 800 still speak a Yupik dialect with any fluency (most speak Central Siberian Yupik, the same dialect also spoken by a few hundred people on Alaska's St. Lawrence Island. | | | The Yupik were animists whose beliefs showed much similarity with those of the Chukchi. | | | The Yupik, like the Chukchi and Korak, believed that Raven had created the world. |

| | 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. | | | The Siberian Yupik communities on St. Lawrence Island, where larger patrilineal descent groups function as political and economic units, is an exception to this Eskimo pattern. | | | According to one anthropologist, a comical dance involving men and women is the most important contemporary annual community ceremonial event among the Yupik on Nelson Island, and which some of the gift-giving elements of Messenger Feast survive. |

| | Surprisingly, in a certain sense, the belief of Canadian Inuit is supported, according to which the blood of the consumed marine mammal becomes component of the human blood, lending the necessary properties to the individual (Borre, 1991). | | | According to the population census of 1989, the Yupik population is 1704, and that of the Chukchi, 15107 (Funk and Sillanpaa, eds, 1999). | | | Eskimos believe that those foods, no matter how "prestigious" they may be, are not nutritious enough. |

| | Eastern groups (Inuit groups) speak Inuktitut, and western groups (Yup'ik groups) speak Yup'ik, although there is a dialect continuum between the two. | | | For example, while the Yupik people prefer to be called "Yup'ik", they do not generally object to being called "Eskimo", but they do not consider themselves "Inuit". | | | Among many non-Eskimos, the word "Eskimo" is falling out of use to refer to the Eskimo peoples in favor of the term "Inuit", which leads to much confusion as to the relationship between the Inuit and the Yup'ik. |

| | Alaskool - Many Tongues, Ancient Tales |
| | Pacific Gulf Yupik (also known as Sugpiaq, Alutiiq, Suk, and popularly also known as Aleut because of Russian tradition) consists of two main dialects, Chugach and Koniag. | | | Sirenikski shows evidence of having been so different from Chaplinski that it should perhaps be classed not only as a separate branch of Yupik but also as a coordinate subbranch of Eskimo, with Yupik, as shown in figure 177, or even as a third branch of Eskimo. | | | Siberian Yupik was and still is not only the main Eskimo language of the Soviet Union, where it is known as Chaplinski, but is also virtually identical with the language of St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, where it is now spoken by an even larger number of people, including most children. |

| | The situation of Evenki in China and Central Siberian Yupik in the United States, in particular, is much less critical. | | | The independent state of Tannu-Tuva was forcibly annexed to the Soviet Union in 1944, but the Tuvan people have not ceased to cultivate their language and culture vigorously, despite the loss of political autonomy. | | | The obvious fact that the languages of the peoples of the first group are much less endangered than the others is not in itself a consequence of this division but both facts follow from the differences in numeric strength and relative political power between the two groups. |
