FDI - Aleut

The Aleuts arrived some 5,000 years ago, and settled in loose family groups on the coast and offshore islands of southwest Alaska. They were maritime hunters, but also hunted inland. They were all but destroyed by the Russians who exploited the Aleut to further Russian fur enterprises. The Russians killed approximately 14,000 of the tribe. Ancestors of the survivors are now mostly Russian Orthodox and reside in their aboriginal territories.
