The Russian Period
Timeline:
The Russians were not as gentle to the natives as the European Explorers were and didn't mind taking this land and calling it home. Starting with their hunting and trading of fur seals in 1743. Only to enrage the natives who had made this place a home for generations before. In 1763 to 1764 a resistance was built up against the Russians by the people living in Umnak, Unimak, and Unalaska. This does not seize the construction of Alaska's future for a few later a the first school was built by the Russians at 'Three Saints Bay-Kodiak Island'("Timelines " ).
Aleksandr Barnov in 1790 becomes the new 'director' of the Russian settlements. Then in 1795 Barnov is given the job of govern of the newly claimed land by Czar Paul. One of Barnov first acts as govern was placing in a trading post in Sitka with Russian America Company in complete control. These acts of progress though did not stop natives from fighting for their freedom.
In 1804 natives raided the 'Kiksadi fort on Indian River' ("Timelines " ). Though the Russians lost, natives were still removed from the area and the fort was built back to its original stance.
Trading continued through out the years and in 1805 the first recorded trade through cargo 'to China arrives in Canton'("Timelines " ).
However with the waters around Alaska being so vast and open, the Russian navy soon assumed control of Alaska in 1818. Then in 1821 the Russians put a law in order that any ships of the exotic type were not allowed to enter the waters surrounding Alaska. Giving Russians free roam of the unexplored area. So, in 1824 'the Nushagak, Kuskokwim, Yukon, and Koyuk Rivers'("Timelines " ), are searched by the Russians.
While trying to explore new areas and keep up with trading they also wished to train the natives to be proper Russians who understood their culture and religion. In 1840, with permission of the Russian Government, the liturgy was translated into native languages.
