Talk:Aleuts

message: The term "Aleut", commonly pronounced "Alley-youte" in my experience, is an appropriate word describing the indigenous peoples of the Aleutian chain. At the offices of The Aleut Corporation, the Regional ANCSA Corporation, the receptionist pronounces the word each time she gets a call from an Aleut shareholder, a certified descendant of the Aleuts.

message: "Japanese forces ... transported captive Attu Islanders to Hokkaidō, where they were held as prisoners of war."
United states government, on the the other hand "evacuated" them and "placed them in internment camps where many died."
Perhaps a more balanced wording should be used.

message: From 1838:
* Epidemic kills half of the native population in the Aleuts
If this is correct, can someone please write a bit more about it here (in particular, which disease was it?) and reinsert the entry which I removed? Thanks, Common Man 10:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Reading Russian colonization of the Americas, I came across a word called Aleut, to which I was interested in finding out its definition. Upon coming to this page, I saw a red link for Aleut Restitution Act of 1988 and started researching. A little research turned into an hour of research, and I ended up with what you see now at Aleut Restitution Act of 1988. I doubt many of you would be interested, but just letting you know that that's one less red link now. Kareeser|Talk! 05:18, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: after reading this article it says they prefer to be called unangan and that the name aleut was given to them by russian fur traders. Maybe it should be changed to unanangan with a redirect from aleut?

message: There were several factual problems with the "Location" section - Aleuts were "resettled" - not "deported", and the Pribilofs were not part of their "original homeland".  I fixed these errors, and added some references.  Apologies for sloppy ref formatting. - Eliezg (talk) 10:08, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Here's the section from the article:
In Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash, the character Raven is an Aleut harpooner seeking revenge for the US's nuclear testing on Amchitka.
The Aleut tribes are also the subject of the Sue Harrison's Ivory Carver Trilogy that includes Mother Earth Father Sky, My Sister the Moon, and Brother Wind.
Aleuts are the subject of Irving Warner's 2007 historical novel about the Attuans held as prisoners of war in Japan, The War Journal of Lila Ann Smith.
Dana Stabenow has published a series of mystery novels set in Alaska. The novels' main character and detective is an Aleut woman named Kate Shugak.

thread_title:  In popular culture 

message: This article is excellent in terms of the history and traditional culture of the Aleut peoples but seems to say little about how they live now. Have they continued with the traditional practices of their ancestors or mostly integrated into modern culture? or is it a mix of the two? do they still live on their original islands or followed the mass migration into cities during the 20th and 21st centuries. Have they adapted to using modern technology and the internet?.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stripy tie (talk • contribs) 20:56, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is 6 months late, and I don't have online sources, so I wouldn't think I should edit the article, but I can tell you (as someone who is over 1/4 Aleut) we've definitely adapted to modern technology. There are, of course, rural villages in AK with Aleut populations, but there are also many Aleuts in cities (e.g. Anchorage), there's definite spread. Generally the more urban the area, the less any traditions would have followed or even known much of. Even Aleut elders, who might at least speak the language, generally wouldn't have any piercings/tattoos/beliefs in old ways apart from, say, subsistence living. While there are still techniques related to hunting/preparing food in more isolated areas, for example, religion etc has been "modernized" almost entirely. I don't know if there are any sites that would have this info in a more credible way, though. I can only speak from personal experience/what I've seen. Iliamna (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The article contradicts itself:  A regional self-denomination is Unangax̂, Unangan or Unanga, meaning "original people." [...] The word Unangan (plural Unanga-x) evidently translates to "Seasider." So which is it, "original people" or "seasiders"?
According to language sites, Unangax is the dual, not the plural: singular Unanga{ ("{" being another transcription for "x̂", the voiceless uvular fricative), dual Unangax, plural Unangan. But sometimes Unangax seems to be used to denominate the people. --92.208.245.85 (talk) 10:17, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians; I will be writing a new main article on wooden hunting hats (in which there is currently a short mention under 5.3 Visual Arts). I understand there has been discussion on the usage of 'Aleut' or demonym 'Unangan'. I am planning to use Unangan, and will link my article from the Aleut page/section. Please let me know if you have any concerns. You will be able to find the page here once complete: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unangan_hunting_headgear .
