The Alutiiq/Sugpiaq are an Alaska Native people. We have lived in the coastal environments of south-central Alaska for over 7,500 years. Our traditional homelands include Prince William Sound, the outer Kenai Peninsula, the Kodiak Archipelago, and the Alaska Peninsula.
Alutiiq people share many cultural practices with the other coastal peoples, particularly the Unangan/Aleut of the Aleutian Chain and the Yup’ik of the Bering Sea coast. Anthropologists believe these cultural similarities reflect a distant but common ancestry.
