		The most conspicuous evidence of this influence is the omnipresence of the Russian Orthodox Church, which is the center of the social life in each community.
		A defining event in the recent history of the Unangan and the Sugpiat, as it was for other Alaska indigenous groups, was the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act in 1971.
		Each Unangax and Sugpiaq village is governed by a tribal council, and each has the political status of "Indian tribe" and maintains a special relationship with the federal government.

	Sugpiaq gives its Alaskan catch special care - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As much as most people love salmon, there is much they don't understand about it, says Isabella Scherer, an Alaskan native of the Sugpiaq and Yup'ik peoples who now lives in Honolulu.
		The Scherers' business is part of a boutique-fishing trend in which smaller operators brand their catch and market it to quality-conscious restaurants and consumers willing to pay a premium.
		He is also hosting a kick-off dinner for Sugpiaq July 15 (see story).

	Fishing for facts about salmon - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		As with other controversies involving the food supply, commerce and science, the issue is as convoluted and puzzling as the spawning path of the wild salmon.
		Isabella Scherer, a native Alaskan who lives in Honolulu, grew up eating wild salmon raw — that's the way the Sugpiaq natives like it — and says farmed fish pose a threat to both the world's fish supply and her people's livelihood.
		She worries that aquaculture operations pollute waters, that fish farms near wild-salmon migration routes spread diseases to wild fish, and that escaped farm-raised Atlantic salmon compete with wild fish or alter their gene pool.

	[NN-Dialogue] Wotanging Ikche--nanews10.031
		Moonin remembers other times when his grandmother would indicate a Native visitor and announce, in their Native language, "That person is a Sugpiaq -- like a real person." For generations, the precise Native roots of Kodiak and the Kenai Peninsula coast have been obscured by cultural confusion and bitter, suppressed memories.
		As the Russians moved east from the Aleutians to Kodiak and the Kenai Peninsula, they tended to refer to all Natives as "Aleuts," a non-Native word whose origins are obscure.
		The latter is a synonym for Aleut, incorporated in the Native language by adding a traditional suffix, -iq.

		Her parents were Efin Rastorguev, a Russian shipbuilder, and Agrafena Petrovna, a Sugpiaq from Kodiak.
		Plied together, these separate strands of stories and life events offer future generations a strong connection to their past and an anchor for the future,” the grant application states.
		Even the Russian language spoken by elders is unusual, Jackinsky said, noting that they use words borrowed from the Kodiak dialect spoken by her ancestors or words that are no longer in use in modern Russian.

	Canku Ota - February 22, 2003 - Helen Jane Simeonoff
		In 1993, she left the department to become a full time artist, her current profession.
		Helen is probably the only Sugpiaq female artist earning her income solely from the sale of watercolor paintings.
		Helen doesn't use common soft watercolor brushes for her work - she achieves her unusual style by pushing the paint across the paper with very stiff brushes and letting the water do the work of "painting".

	Agrafena's language: Alutiiq
		This is the same language spoken by Agrafena's Children of Nanwalek, Alaska.
		Used by Krauss on his 1974 map of the native peoples and languages of Alaska was Sugpiaq, parallel in construction to Yupik and Inupiaq, but the people in question often disapproved of the term as a name for themselves because it is now obsolescent in that idiomatic sense, meaning now only 'genuine people'.
		Other terms sometimes used in the litreature are Suk (local form of the shibboleth, for 'person'), and the obvious Pacific Gulf Yupik, though the people do not readily accept identification with Yupiks or Eskimos.

	Alaska Images - Alaskan Alutiiq Sugpiaq Natives
		The word Aleut means Coastal People in Russian and Alutiiq is a plural form of Russian.
		The proper Alaskan Native name to use for Aleut people is Unangan and the proper Alaskan Native name for the Alutiiq people is Sugpiaq.
		Although, I refer to my site as Alutiiq -- I am very interested in the pre-Russian culture of the people from Kodiak Island and Alaskan Peninsula.

		Much more common nowadays is the word the Russians gave to the inhabitants of western and southwestern Alaska: Aleut.
		The people called "Aleuts" spoke several different languages, including Unangan and Sugpiaq, today also called Alutiiq.
		The two languages are in the same language family, although Alutiiq is an Eskimo language, very close to Central Yup'ik in grammar and vocabulary, while Unangan is not an Eskimo language.
