USA / Alaska: 'Eskimo Woman'. Portrait of Inupiat woman Nowdaluk Ootenna, Lomen Bros, Nome, c. 1910

The Inupiat are an Alaskan Native people, whose traditional territory spans Norton Sound on the Bering Sea to the Canada–United States border. Their current communities include seven Alaskan villages in the North Slope Borough, affiliated with the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation; eleven villages in Northwest Arctic Borough; and sixteen villages affiliated with the Bering Straits Regional Corporation.

Culturally, Inupiat are divided into two regional hunter-gatherer groups: the Tagiugmiut ('sea people'), living on or near the north Alaska coast, and the Nunamiut ('land people'), living in interior Alaska.
