Aleut: Kodiak...
"The Aleuts number 15,000 or more on the islands of the Aleutian
chain and the adjacent Alaskan mainland.   Although of the same
linguistic and racial stock as the Eskimos, the Aleuts were origin-
ally closer in culture to the Indians of northwestern North
America.   The Aleut tongues are divided into two general
categories: the Eastern group, spoken by about 11,000, including
the dialects of Unimak, Unalaska, and Kodiak islands, and the
Alaskan Peninsula; and the Western group, spoken by less than
5,000 Aleuts on the islands from Umnak and Atka southwest-
ward.   Some of the Western Aleuts have been settled by the
Russians on the Commander Islands.

The Kodiak dialect of Eastern Aleut represents the usage of the
Aleuts of Kodiak (called Kadiak) Island in the middle of the 19th
century."
