"Siberian Yupiks, or Yuits, are Yupik Eskimo people who reside along the coast of the Chukchi Peninsula in the far northeast of Russia and on St. Lawrence Island in Alaska. They speak the Yupik language of the Eskimo–Aleut family of languages. Yupik People are also known as Siberian Inuit (эскимосы). There are about 2500 Yupik People in total, with 1500 scattered on the Russian side of Bering Sea and the rest living in a couple of settlements on St. Lawrence Island (USA)."
