Aleuts (/ˌæ.liːˈuːt/ ⓘ A-lee-OOT;[4] Russian: Алеуты, romanized: Aleuty) are the Indigenous people of the Aleutian Islands, which are located between the North Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. Both the Aleuts and the islands are politically divided between the US state of Alaska and the Russian administrative division of Kamchatka Krai. This group is also known as the Unangax̂[5] in Unangam Tunuu, the Aleut language.[6] There are 13 federally recognized Aleut tribes in the Aleut Region of Alaska.[7] In 2000, Aleuts in Russia were recognized by government decree as a small-numbered Indigenous people.[8]
