Tikiġaġmiut
The Tikiġaġmiut, an Inupiat people, live two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, southwest of Barrow, Alaska, in an Inupiaq village of Point Hope, Alaska (in Inupiak language, Tikiġaq). The Tikigaq are the oldest continuously settled Native American site on the continent. They are native whale hunters with centuries of experience co-existing with the Chukchi Sea that surrounds their Point Hope Promontory on three sides. "Tikiġaq" means "index finger" in the Inupiaq language.
