Aleut people

The Aleut people, also known as the Unangan, are indigenous inhabitants of the Aleutian Islands and parts of the Alaska Peninsula in the United States. They have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional subsistence activities such as fishing, hunting, and gathering. Historically, the Aleut language belongs to the Eskimo-Aleut language family. Their society is known for intricate craftsmanship, especially in boat-making and skin-sewing. The Aleuts have faced significant challenges, including colonization and cultural assimilation, but they continue to preserve and celebrate their unique identity and traditions in modern society.
