Alaska's People:

· Alaska's Population was 626,932 in 2000. That's about 1 person for every square mile

· The principal Indian groups in Alaska are the Tsimshian, Haida, and Tlingit tribes and seven small tribes belonging to the Athabsascan language family.

· Most of the Tsimshian Indians live along the Nass and Skeena rivers. The Haidas, located on Prince of Wales Island, and the Tlingits, settled along the coast from Ketchikan to Katalla, are distantly related. Both, particularly the Haida, are noted for their totem-pole carving. Most of the southeastern Indians are fishermen or work in fish canneries. They have generally abandoned their old tribal customs.

· The Eskimos live along the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean coasts and the lower Yukon River and Kuskokwim River regions.

· Scattered over this harsh and frigid area, Eskimos hunt, fish, trap, and herd reindeer
