It is not Yup'ik Indian, it is Yup'ik Eskimo. They lived off the land and were nomadic until the U.S. turned Alaska into a state and forced the indigineous people to create a permanent residence. Today it is even harder for them to make a living because of global warming melting the permafrost and causing inlets to wash away villages. They can no longer lead a nomadic life because of the government. They were nomadic because they knew that one area would not support them forever.
