Peoples of the Aleutian Islands lived under a number of stressful environmental constraints, including extreme isolation, volcanic eruptions, seismic activity (including tsunamis), frequent storms, rough seas, gale‐force winds, frequent fog and precipitation, and an exclusive marine diet. Nevertheless, the Aleutian Islands supported a large maritime population during late prehistoric times. Cultural adaptations to these conditions included the use of relatively large coastal settlements, semisubterranean houses, tailored warm and waterproof clothing, sophisticated skin boats for hunting, fishing, and traveling, broad species utilization of food and raw materials, food storage, fuel for heating and cooking, and refuge rocks or islets for protection against raids
