Bulletin 30, Pt. 1, entry under Chnagmiut (a Bering Strait Yup'ik group), it is noted that "Premorska" is a name sometimes used for these people, derived from Russian - "people of the sea." Premorska has also been referenced by Dall (p. 223 in Alaska and Its Resources, 1870) as a name applied by the Russians to the Kuigpagmiut Yup'ik.
