That is one outdated photo ... and verges on stereotype.
It's the only free photo of Yupik Eskimos I could find. Point me to one that better represents the culture and I'll be glad to replace it. I got the picture from the Wiki entry on the Yupik people. I definitely don't want to disparage anyone!
There appear to be a couple of images in the original press release. You could also consider checking with the Alaska Native Hertiage Center: http://www.alaskanative.net/.
It would have been nice if they mentioned these images in the information they e-mailed to me. Thanks for finding those, Gabriel!
