The Aboriginals Of The Bering Coast
The aboriginals of the Bering Coast were mainly sea mammal hunters and fishermen. They hunted primarily during the winter when the mammals were out of the water, but the whales were a commodity and were hunted year-round in open water. The occasional land mammal was hunted as well. The western region of Alaska is home to caribou, brown bears, deer, moose, and more.

    The relationship between the Americans and the Native Americans had been tumultuous for some time. The Americans insisted on recklessly encroaching on Indian land and the Indians were forced to defend it. The Rocky Mountain Fur Company’s fur traders were licensed to trade only to do trade with the Indians, but they set out to trap and hunt instead.
