Believe that “immoral” behavior and actions to people and to the environment have consequences Out of all the Alaska Natives the Unangams have experienced the longest and most close contact with Western people. The Unangam Aleut region has the Aleutian, Commander, Pribilof, and Shumagin island tribes and the western part of Alaska’s Peninsula, including slightly about over 300 single islands and islets (that means small Island). About sixteen of these islands are important in size. The earliest census (an official count of a population carried out intervals), conducted by the Russians in 1790, Counted 66 villages on 18 islands and the mainland. However, not all areas were included in this survey and it is likely that some settlements were overlooked. The 1890 United States census counted 22 villages on 12 islands and the Alaska Peninsula. But in 1990, But sadly only ten villages remain today It’s really amazing how fast they decrease and that more are going to other countries and starting a new life in the modern life and never come back cause they forget about it, and how to weave, hunt ,build and carve. Now the remaining tribes use technology instead of spears they use shotguns instead of lamps they use electricity and so on the Unangam Aleut culture is a continuation of the stuff the ancestors do who lived in the Aleutian Islands for more than seven thousand years before anyone arrived.
