Alaskans, specifically Indigenous peoples, have been living in Alaska for thousands of years, with estimates suggesting their presence dates back at least 10,000 to 15,000 years. These Indigenous groups, including the Inupiat, Yupik, Aleut, and several others, developed rich cultures and lifestyles adapted to the diverse environments of the region. The arrival of non-Indigenous settlers, including Russians in the 18th century and Americans in the 19th century, added a new dimension to Alaska's history. Today, Alaska is home to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations, reflecting a complex cultural tapestry.
