You’ll find snow-capped volcanoes pluming steam from their tops, massive brown bears snapping a healthy supply of salmon from waterfalls, verdant green hills to hike, blue-domed Russian Orthodox churches, and excellent birding on the Pribilof Islands, called “The Galapagos of the North.” Four distinct Alaska Native cultural groups have called this area home for thousands of years: the Yup’ik, Cup’ik, Unangax, and Sugpiaq (Alutiiq) peoples. The Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak (Qikertaq) showcases the latter cultures, and The Museum of the Aleutians is a must-see in Unalaska. adobestock.om (bears), Lexi Qass’uq Trainer Cup’ik/Yup’ik (Bethel), Travel Alaska (Unalaska) Bethel Unalaska TRAVELALASKA.COM 21
