Indian population in the United States and Alaska. 1910 - RootsWeb

114 INDIANS IN THE UNITED STATES.
Naparktoo.—Under this name a few persons were
enumerated in the vicinity of Point Barrow. The
name is probably that of a village, but it has not been
possible to locate it. The people are almost certainly
Eskimo. The Naparktoo, as enumerated in 1910,
numbered 9.
Neechuktamiut.—A tribe or village located apparently
on Miniatulik Kiver, flowing into Norton Bay.
It is uncertain whether these Eskimo should be con-
sidered as a subdivision of the Kaviagmiut or the
Malemiut. The number enumerated in 1910 was 25.
Nunatogmiut.—A tribe occupying the region about
the Noatak River, and extending inland a considerable
distance. The appUcation of the name has been somewhat
variable. The number enumerated in 1910 was
285. Owing to the uncertainty in the application of
the name, comparison with earlier censuses is of doubt-
ful value, only 42 being reported in 1890 and 650 in
1880.
Nunivagmiut.—^A tribe living on Nunivak Island
and a small area about Cape Vancouver in the Yukon-
Kuskokwim delta region. The number enumerated in
1910 was 301, as against 702 in 1890 and 408 in 1880.
NuTiochogmiut.—A village or tribe in the Yukon
delta, inland from Baird Inlet. They form a subdivision
of the Magemiut. The number enumerated
in 1910 was 158, as compared with 135 in 1890 and 40
in 1880.
NushagagTniut.— ^A tribe living in the vicinity of
Nushagak Bay, of which the number enumerated in
1910 was 31. Owing to uncertainty as to what is
included under the name, comparison with earlier
censuses is of little value, 193 being reported in 1890
and 817 in 1880.
Nuvmlcmiut.—A tribe living in the vicinity of Point
Barrow, on the Arctic coast. The number enumerated
in 1910 was 81, as against 143 in 1890. They were not
reported separately at the census of 1880.
Pitulcmiut.—A small group of Eskimo enumerated
on Kotzebue Sound, whose precise habitat and affiha^
tions are unknown. Four full-blood Pitukmiut were
enumerated in 1910—3 males and 1 female.
Polazramiut.—A small tribe, probably a subdivision
of the Eanugumiut, enumerated near Cape Prince of
Wales, Seward Peninsula. The number enumerated
in 1910 was 14.
Sdawigmiut.—^A tribe living on and near Selawik
Lake, near Kotzebue Sound, of which the number
enumerated in 1910 was 258.
Sidarumiut.—^A tribe or village located on the
Arctic coast in the vicinity of Point Belcher. Five
Sidarumiut were enumerated in 1910—2 fuU-blood
males, 2 fuU-blood females, and 1 mixed white and
Indian male.
Tikeramiut.—A tribe living on the northwestern
coast in the vicinity of Point Hope. The number
enumerated in 1910 was 320, as compared with 295 in
1890. In 1880 they were not enumerated separately.
Togiagmiut.—A tribe living in the vicinity of
Togiak Lake and Bay (Bristol Bay). The number
emunerated in 1910 was 93, as against 190 in 1890.
They were not enumerated separately in 1880.
Wdvokmiwt.—^A subdivision of the Kaviagmiut, living
on King Island, Bering Strait. The number
enumerated in 1910 was 140, as compared with 200
at the census of 1890.
TJnaligmiut.—A tribe occupying the shores of
Norton Sound from a little south of Cape Denbigh
nearly to the mouth of the Yukon. The number
enumerated in 1910 was 441. Earher census figures
were 119 in 1890 and 418 in 1880.
Uikiavinmiut.—A tribe living on the Arctic coast at
and to the west of Cape Smith. The number enumerated
in 1910 was 123, as against 193 reported in
1890.
TJtukamiut (syn. Otookogmiut).—A tribe living on
the Arctic coast between Point Hope and Wainright
Inlet. The number enumerated in 1910 was 127.
Comparison with earlier years is limited to 1890, at
which census 48 were reported. The large increase
thus shown is probably due partly to uncertainty as
to tribal limits, and partly to the fact that, being
more nomadic than many of the tribes in the vicinity,
a considerable number were not enumerated in 1890.
Yuit.—A group of Eskimo occupying St. Lawrence
Island and the region about East Cape, Siberia. The
number enumerated in 1910 was 292, as compared
with 267 in 1890 and 500 (as estimated) in 1880.
Southern Eskimo.—By an unfortunate error on the
part of the enumerators, the naajority of the Eskimo
of southern Alaska, from the Shtunagin Islands to
Controller Bay, together with some on the shores of
Bristol Bay, were enumerated wrongly as Aleut. The
tribal groups so confused were mainly the Kaniagmiut,
Chugachigmiut, and Ugalakmiut, and to a lesser degree
the Agiemiut and perhaps a few of the Nushagagmiut.
A portion of the Agiemiut and Kaniagmiut were,
however, correctly enumerated under their proper
names. As it has been impossible to separate this
mixed body of Eskimo into its constituent tribal or
geographic divisions, they have been treated as a
general group under the above heading, which thus
includes all Eskimo south and east of the head of
Bristol Bay. The number enumerated in 1910 was
3,650. No very satisfactory comparison with the
census figures for earlier years can be made. The
combined population of the Agiemiut, Chugachigmiut,
Kaniagmiut, and Ugalakmiut was 3,142 in 1890 and
3,489 in 1880.
Tribe not reported.— ^Under this general heading are
included all persons enumerated merely as " Eskimo "
without further distinction of tribe. The Eskimo
of unknown affiliation enumerated in Alaska in 1910
were 474, and on account of this comparatively large
number, they are shown separately by sex and age in
Table 52 (p. 156).
