	Alutiiq - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alutiiq people today live in coastal fishing communities, where they work in all aspects of the modern economy, while also maintaining the cultural value of subsistence.
		The Alutiiq language is relatively close to that spoken by the Yupik in the Bethel, Alaska area, but is considered a distinct language with two major dialects.
		The Koniag Dialect is spoken on the Alaska Peninsula and on Kodiak Island.

		The lives of Alutiiq residents of the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak were disrupted by the volcanic eruption of Mount Katmai in June 1912.
		Alutiiqs who did not qualify for the permits because they were young crewmen at the time of the establishment of limited entry, or who sold their original issue permits, found themselves locked out of fishing in their home communities.
		In all Alutiiq communities, subsistence harvests of salmon and other resources were considerably lessened by the presence of oil, by the residents' involvement in the cleanup effort, and by their fears of oil contamination of subsistence foods.

	Arctic: Looking both ways: heritage and identity of the Alutiiq people (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Alutiiq occupy Kodiak Island and the southern Alaskan mainland.
		A side effect of this cultural swamping is that the Alutiiq, intermarried with other groups and living both on Kodiak and elsewhere, have lost large portions of their own past--traditions, language, and belief systems.
		This is also and more expectably the case of the nine Alutiiq Elders in the final chapter, although there is a listing of Alutiiq Elders, their places of birth and present residences (xi-xii), and the three editors are given very brief biographical sketches (p.

		The term "Alutiiq" is used to refer to both the language and culture of the group of Alaska Native people indigenous to the Kodiak Island Archipelago, the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, Prince William Sound, and the lower tip of the Kenai Peninsula.
		The Russians saw that Alutiiqs were different from Aleuts, and referred to them by area as Kadiaks or Chugashes.
		Some archaeologists believe that the ancestors of the present-day Native Alaskan residents of the Alutiiq culture area have continuously inhabited the area for at least 7,000 years.

	Common-place: Russian Routes
		For almost every Alutiiq man who was away on these hunting expeditions, there was a woman who now continued her traditional duties but received no replacement help for male-specific tasks.
		Some Alutiiq leaders may have encouraged their daughters to form unions with Russian men, hoping to gain allies among the promyshlenniki, and perhaps better treatment of their families and village members, for whose security they were responsible.
		And beyond that, when the missionaries arrived on the island, many Alutiiq women who formed unions with Russian men converted to Russian orthodoxy so that their marriages, and therefore, their children, would be recognized as legitimate in the eyes of the Russian state.

	Human Organization, Fall 1996
		The community of Old Harbor on Kodiak Island is populated mainly by Alutiiq Natives and by descendants of male Scandinavian immigrants who married Alutiiq women.
		Scandinavian and Alutiiq intermarriage during the last one hundred years has produced a new creolized social class, but this new class is maintained by an aboriginal Alutiiq social structure built upon hierarchy and rank.
		It is within the framework of Alutiiq kinship and the Scandinavian work ethic that Old Harbor residents of Scandinavian descent have attained a high level of material prosperity that is invisible in neighboring Alutiiq communities where such intermarriage has not occurred.
