Nunivagmiut

The Nunivagmiut, who call themselves the Nuniwarmiut or Nunivak Cup'ig, are the Central Alaskan Yup'ik people of Nunivak Island in the Bering Sea, with Mekoryuk as their main community. They speak the Nunivak Cup'ig dialect of Central Alaskan Yup'ik, an Eskimo–Aleut language.

They have lived on the island for roughly two thousand years, hunting sea mammals and fishing from coastal villages. When the Russian-American Company first made contact in 1821, its explorers recorded about 400 people living in sixteen villages scattered across the island.
