Innuit
the native name of the people occupying the entire coast line of Alaska, with the outlying islands along the Arctic coast to Bering Strait, S. to the Alaska Peninsula, E. and N. along the Pacific coast to Mount St. Elias, with the exception of a small territory on Cook's Inlet and at the mouth of Copper river, where the Tinneh from the interior have forced their way to the coast.
They are tall and muscular, have small black eyes, high cheek bones, large mouths, thick lips, coarse brown hair, and fresh yellow complexions. Occupying the coast line, they are bold navigators and skilled fishermen and sea hunters.
