Aleut Native Tribes

The Aleut (or Unangan) are Indigenous peoples native to the Aleutian Islands and parts of southwestern Alaska. They traditionally relied on hunting sea mammals like seals and sea otters, fishing, and gathering for survival. Their culture features skilled boat-building, hunting techniques, and unique art forms such as carving and hafting tools. The Aleut have a deep connection to their environment, which shapes their customs and traditions. Today, they continue to preserve their language, cultural practices, and community through various initiatives, blending their rich heritage with modern life.
