Kaviaks

Kaviaks, a people of Alaska, who dwell on the shores of Norton Bay and in the peninsula west of the Yukon river, to which they give their name. They are much taller and stronger than their Eskimo neighbours, whom they resemble in many respects. The Kaviaks, who were reduced to about 1,500 in 1870, shave the head, and have the curious custom of wearing two long bones like tusks attached to both sides of the mouth.
