In 1741, the #Russian explorer, Vitus Bering, met the #inuit of Alaska. It is estimated that there were about 40,000 #inuit living in Alaska at the time, with half of them living in the north, both in the interior and in the far northwest

The #inuit, Aleut, and Native Americans living below the Arctic Circle were the most heavily affected by early European contact, occasioned by #Russian fur traders.

The #inuit communities of northern Alaska speak Inupiaq, part of the Eskaleut family of languages.
