The terms “Alaska” or “Alaska man/woman” were historically used to homogenise the diverse Indigenous peoples of Alaska. The self-identification of these groups should be respected. Indigenous groups in Alaska include the following:
  • Iñupiat (Alaskan Inuit)
  • Yup’ik (mainland “Alaska eskimos”) including Alutiiq (Kodiak Island) and Sugpiaq (southern Kenai Peninsula)
  • Aleut (Aleutian Islands, Shamugin Islands, far west Alaskan peninsula) including Unangan (Alaskan Aleutian Islands)
  • Tlingit (islands and coastal lands of southeast Alaska) including Chilkat (Chilkat River and Chilkat Peninsula) and Hoonah (Chichagof Island)
  • Haida (southeast Alaska)
  • Tsimshian (Annette Island)
  • Eyak (Copper River Delta)
  • Alaskan Athabaskan, referring to 11 Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic groups:
    • Dena’ina/Tanaina (Ht’ana)
    • Ahtna or Copper River Athabaskan (Hwt’aene)
    • Deg Hit’an or Ingalik (Hit’an)
    • Holikachuk (Hit’an)
    • Koyukon (Hut’aane)
    • Upper Kuskokwin or Kolchan (Hwt’ana)
    • Tanana or Lower Tanana (Kokht’ana)
    • Tanacross or Tanana Crossing (Koxt’een)
    • Upper Tanana (Koht’iin)
    • Gwich’in or Kutchin (Gwich’in)
