Qagaan

Qagaan Tayaĝungin, the people of the east, were Unangan communities of the Alaska Peninsula and the islands near its tip. Their country included the Shumagin and Sanak Islands and reached west towards Unimak. The sea supplied fish, birds and marine mammals, while skin boats connected settlements across the island passages. In the eighteenth century Russian traders sought sea otter skins along this coast, bringing new demands and violence to its people.
