The 'government' of the Aleuts was very loose, but generally you would have villages that the natives would live in, but there was no clear leader. They did have a status system, with the wealthiest individuals getting the most control, and the Eskimo slaves getting the least power. An example of one of these villages is Agdaagux. In English it's name is King Cove.
Geography-wise, the Aleutian Islands are surrounded by water (they're islands), but they almost share a border with Alaska. The Aleuts did have territory on the Alaskan Peninsula, but it was restricted to the southern border with the Pacific Ocean. One important island to the Aleuts is Unalaska Island, because this is the location of their first church.
Most of the Aleuts' trade consisted of materials they had a lot of, such as walrus ivory and obsidian. However, eventually tyhey imported food and tools, and they became reliant on those. One location where they would hunt walrus and whale was Volcano Bay on Unalaska Island.
Before the Russians all but destroyed traditional Aleut culture, they believed in a religion that used animism, with the spirits of different objects playing a major role. the specialists of their religion (think priests of Christianity) were shamans, and the shamans would host religious ceremonies.According to encyclopedia.com, these ceremonies would be held in the winter, with dancing and singing in the night being used to honour deceased relatives and for entertainment.
This is an Aleut ceremony in action. They would dance in circles with colorful clothing and masks, which wuld bring entertainment to spirits that may be watching and to honor their deceased relatives.

The Aleutian islands are located in the northern part of a ring of active volcano's called the Ring of Fire. All of the islands have volcanic origin and there is even active volcano's still there. Other tribes or groups of people competed for fur from Blue Foxes.      Then Russians came and set up rule in the Aleutian Islands. The region changed when Russians came because they used the fur for their clothes. So the population of Blue Foxes changed drastically with the coming of Russians and other societies like the Europeans.
This is a blue fox. When the Russians gained control of the Aleutian Islands, settlers would come to the archipelago to hunt these foxes for their fur, which was popular in Russian coats.

In 2000 BC, the earliest Aleuts came from the Alaskan mainland to the Aleutian Islands. They situated on the seashore next to fresh water. They lived there until this day.
Prospectors searching for gold in Alaska came to the Aleutian islands. This disrupted the Aleuts daily lives, and their population dwindled. The time when Russian Prospectors came and tried to take over and establish trade the population was around 20,000. By the end of the 19th century, the foreign domination brought the population down to 2,000 Aleuts.
This is a map of the Aleutian Islands. The Aleutian Islands are where the Aleuts lived for most of history, until they were pushed away by setlers.

The Aleuts were located in the Aleutan Islands, which are an island chain of off the southwest coast of Alaska.

The absolute coordinates that touch the Aleutian Islands are 54.46 N, 164.57 W.

- Church of Holy Ascension: This is the first Orthodox Church that was built in the Aleutian Islands. Since the arrival of Russians in the early 1800s, Aleutian culture (including religion) was drastically changed, with the beliefs of the Russian Orthodox rubbing off onto the native Aleuts, ultimately leading to Orthodox becoming the largest religion of the Aleuts. Absolute Location: Approximately 53.57°N, 166.89° W. Relative Location: The Church of Holy Ascension is located on Unalaska Island in the western portion of the Aleutian Islands.

Below: That is the Church of Holy Ascension. This was the first Orthodox Church built in the Aleutian Islands for the Aleuts. Since Russians settled in the Aleutian Islands, their religion (Russian Orthodox) rubbed off on the natives, and churches were eventually built for the Aleuts.

The Aleuts interact with their environment in many ways. One way they interact with the environment is by hunting. They hunted whales, walruses, seals, and sea lions. They used stone, bones, and ivory to make tools. They also made other objects like Oil lamps.
The Aleuts lived in small huts dug into the ground. They would crawl in to a small sleeping space where they could also make fires. There was also vents in the ceiling of these homes used to filter out smoke.This is an Aleut sod house. They would use sod for the roofs of their houses because it was a good insulator, keeping them warm when it was below zero outside.
