Iñupiat

The Eskimo of the American side of the strait, including the Diomede Islanders. Alaska is Kɪˊɪmɪn in Chukchee, so its people are Kɪˊɪmɪlɪt; they are also Roˊčhɪlɪt, "opposite-shore people"; and also Yɪkɪrg̣aˊulɪt, "the [large] mouthed", from yɪkɪˊrg̣ɪn "mouth" — 1-041 says the labrets they wore "having made their mouths their most conspicuous feature".
The labrets are what identify them. 1-041 attaches Yɪkɪrg̣aˊulɪt to the Diomede Islanders in one sentence and to the inhabitants of the American continent in the next, which reads like two peoples until the ornament is noticed: labret-wearing is the Bering Strait Iñupiat's, and the Chukchee are naming one people by the thing that distinguishes them from the Eskimo on their own shore.
