The Yup'ik or Yupiaq (sg & pl) and Yupiit or Yupiat (pl), also Central Alaskan Yup'ik, Central Yup'ik, Alaskan Yup'ik (own name "Yup'ik" "Yupiik" "Yupiit" ), are an Eskimo people of western and southwestern Alaska ranging from southern Norton Sound southwards along the coast of the Bering Sea on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (including living on Nelson and Nunivak Islands) and along the northern coast of Bristol Bay as far east as Nushagak Bay and the northern Alaska Peninsula at Naknek River and Egegik Bay.
 They are also known as Cup'ik by the Chevak Cup'ik dialect-speaking Eskimos of Chevak and Cup'ig for the Nunivak Cup'ig dialect-speaking Eskimo of Nunivak Island.
Central Alaskan Yup'ik or just Yup'ik (also called Yupik, Central Yupik,<ref name="ISO 639-3/RA"> </ref> or indigenously Yugtun) is one of the languages of the Yupik family, in turn a member of the Eskimo–Aleut language group, spoken in western and southwestern Alaska.
 Both in ethnic population and in number of speakers, Central Alaskan Yup'ik is the largest of the languages spoken by Alaska Natives.
 As of 2010 it was also the second largest aboriginal language in the United States in terms of numbers of speakers.
 Yup'ik should not be confused with the related language Central Siberian Yupik spoken in Chukotka and St. Lawrence Island.
Yup'ik masks (Yup'ik "kegginaquq" "kegginaquk" "kegginaqut" and "nepcetaq" "nepcetat" ; in the Lower Yukon dialects "avangcaq" "avangcak" "avangcat" ; in Nunivak Cup'ig dialect "agayu") are expressive shamanic ritual masks made by the Yup'ik people of southwestern Alaska.
 Also known as Cup'ik masks for the Chevak Cup'ik dialect speaking Eskimos of Chevak and Cup'ig masks for the Nunivak Cup'ig dialect speaking Eskimos of Nunivak Island.
 One of their most popular forms of the Alaska Native art are masks.
 The Yup'ik masks vary enormously but are characterised by great invention.
 They are typically made of wood, and painted with few colors.
 The Yup'ik masks were carved by men or women, but mainly were carved by the men.
 The shamans ("angalkuq") were the ones that told the carvers how to make the masks.
 Yup'ik masks could be small three-inch finger masks or maskettes (or "dance fans", in the Lower Yukon Yup'ik dialects "tegumiaq" "tegumiak" "tegumiat" ), but also ten-kilo masks hung from the ceiling or carried by several people.
 These masks are used to bring the person wearing it luck and good fortune in hunts.
 Over the long winter darkness dances and storytelling took place in the qasgiq using these masks.
 They most often create masks for ceremonies but the masks are traditionally destroyed after being used.
 After Christian contact in the late nineteenth century, masked dancing was suppressed, and today it is not practiced as it was before in the Yup'ik villages.

 This cuisine is traditionally based on meat from fish, birds, sea and land mammals, and normally contains high levels of protein.
 Subsistence foods are generally considered by many to be nutritionally superior superfoods.
 Yup’ik diet is different from Alaskan Inupiat, Canadian Inuit, and Greenlandic diets.
 Fish as food (especially Salmonidae species, such as salmon and whitefish) are primary food for Yup'ik Eskimos.
 Both food and fish called "neqa" in Yup'ik.
 Food preparation techniques are fermentation and cooking, also uncooked raw.
 Cooking methods are baking, roasting, barbecuing, frying, smoking, boiling, and steaming.

 Typically, the men are in the front, kneeling and the women stand in the back.
 The drummers are in the very back of the dance group.
 Dance is the heart of Yup’ik spiritual and social life.
 Every song has a story behind it and some songs is either about hunting or berry picking.
 Some songs could be about sports or other things that don't really relate to hunting.
 Traditional dancing in the qasgiq is a communal activity in Yup’ik tradition.
 The mask ("kegginaquq") was a central element in Yup'ik ceremonial dancing.

 This list includes notable visual artists who are Inuit people, Alaskan Natives, Siberian Yup'ik, American Indians, First Nations, Métis, Mestizos, and indigenous peoples of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
 Indigenous identity is a complex and contested issue and differs from country to country in the Americas.
 Inclusion to this list is based on legal membership to an indigenous community, when applicable, or recognition by the relevant indigenous community/communities of the individual as a member of that community.
The Eskimo are the indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the northern circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia), across Alaska (United States), Canada, and Greenland.
Yup'ik doll (Yup'ik "yugaq" "yugak" "yugat" or "yuguaq", "irniaruaq", "irnianguaq", "inuguaq"; also, "yunguaq" in Unaliq-Pastuliq dialect, "sugaq", "sugaruaq", "suguaq" in Bristol Bay dialect, "cugaq", "cugaruaq" in Hooper Bay-Chevak dialect, "cuucunguar" in Nunivak dialect) is a traditional Eskimo style doll and figurine form made in the southwestern Alaska by Yup'ik people.
 Also known as Cup'ik doll for the Chevak Cup'ik dialect speaking Eskimos of Chevak and Cup'ig doll for the Nunivak Cup'ig dialect speaking Eskimos of Nunivak Island.
 Typically, Yup'ik dolls are dressed in traditional Eskimo style Yup'ik clothing (as "irniaruam atkua" "doll parka"), intended to protect the wearer from cold weather, and are often made from traditional materials obtained through food gathering.
 Play dolls from the Yup'ik area were made of wood, bone, or walrus ivory and measured from one to twelve inches in height or more.
 Male and female dolls were often distinguished anatomically and can be told apart by the addition of ivory labrets for males and chin tattooing for females.
 The information about play dolls within Alaska Native cultures is sporadic.
 As is so often the case in early museum collections, it is difficult to distinguish dolls made for play from those made for ritual.
 There were always five dolls making up a family: a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, and a baby.
 Some human figurines were used by shamans.
Yup'ik clothing (Yup'ik "aturaq" "aturak" "aturat" , "aklu", "akluq", "un’u" ; also, "piluguk" in Unaliq-Pastuliq dialect, "aklu", "cangssagar", "un’u" in Nunivak dialect) refers to the traditional Eskimo-style clothing worn by the Yupik people of southwestern Alaska.
