So, which did they call themselves?

"It was once the winter home of a group of about 200 Inupiat who called themselves Aseuluk ... It was the home of a group of about 200 Inupiat who called themselves Ukivokmiut." Irish Melkite (talk) 05:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I have found mention of both names in sources that do not seem to depend on the WP article. For Aseuluk that takes some deep searching. Dankarl (talk) 16:26, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

And where did they do which?

"The Aseuluk spent their winters engaging in subsistence hunting on King Island and their summers engaging in similar activities on the mainland near the location of present-day Nome, Alaska. ... The Ukivokmiut spent their summers engaging in subsistence hunting on and around King Island and their winters in other subsistence activities such as hunting and fishing on the ice ... " Irish Melkite (talk) 06:01, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

I think the winter hunting was mostly for sea mammals using King Island as a base, along with ice fishing. The summer foraging trip to the mainland is pretty well attested. How much resources the island itself could supply is not clear to me. Reliable sourcing is difficult, there are some reliable primary sources but very fragmented.

I have added Deanna Kingston's King Island article to the external links section of the article; she was a PhD Anthropologist and of King Island Inuit heritage. She covers subsistence issues and mentions that after moving to the mainland King Islanders returned to the island in the summer to forage.Dankarl (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Leaving King Island: The Closure of a Bureau of Indian Affairs School and Its Consequences Nicole M. Braem University of Alaska, Fairbanks, 2004 is another potential source but not available online; I do not know how much of the earlier history it covers but it ought to at least have some references.

Three more references from Ben Muse's blog:Ellanna, Linda J. Bering Strait Insular Eskimo: A Diachronic Study of Economy and Population Structure. Alaska Department of Fish and Game Technical Paper No. 77. May 1983. and Haycox, Stephen. Alaska. An American Colony. University of Washington Press. Seattle, 2002. Wolfe, Robert J. Alaska's Great Sickness, 1900: An Epidemic of Measles and Influenza in a Virgin Soil Population. Proceedings of the American Philisophical Society. 126(2): 91-121. April 8, 1982. The Ellanna book is available as a pdf over 500 pp and kind of a slow download.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on King Island (Alaska). Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20160128233337/http://www.riemunoz.com/kingIsland.htm to http://www.riemunoz.com/kingIsland.htm

the new link appears to redirect to the Munoz site, where the page has been taken down. I suspect a copyright issue.

Not a redirect. Archived too late?
