It should be remembered, however, that even the most official census figures were never more than an approximation of the population of an area like the Innoko Lowlands. Seasonal movements of people have always been characteristic, and the number of inhabitants in any village always varied greatly depending on the time of year that a count was made. A long-time, yeararound resident Uke John Chapman was in a better position to make accurate population estimates than a federal enumerator whose visits to the area at widely separated intervals were, of necessity, brief. Nevertheless, it seems clear that Osgood was correct when he noted that the population of the Anvik-Shageluk Ingalik and their closest neighbors has, since the 1840's always been "nearer five hundred than a thousand."'T he neighbors of the Anvik-Shageluk people include Eskimos as well as other Athapaskan speakers. West of the Anvik River and its tributaries is the territory of the Unaligmiut Eskimos who inhabit the coast of Norton Sound and the banks of the short rivers which flow into it. Contact and trade between the Ingalik and Eskimos was important in this area.
