Alaskans

Alaskans are the people who live in Alaska, the largest U.S. state known for its vast wilderness, natural resources, and diverse cultures. They include indigenous groups such as Inupiaq, Yupik, and Aleut peoples, as well as settlers and residents from across the country and around the world. Alaskans often work in industries like fishing, oil, tourism, and forestry. The state's remote geography fosters a resilient, self-reliant community with unique traditions and a deep connection to nature. Despite its rugged environment, Alaskans value community, independence, and environmental preservation.
