content: Note: original cultural attribution was Premorska tribe, to which someone has added Athabaskan, and which was listed in the electronic database as Kutchin. On p. 287, B.A.E. 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. As noted above, Fran Reed has tentatively identified parka as Koyukon.
