Download or read book Russians in Alaska 1732 1867 written by Lydia Black and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive work, the crown jewel in the distinguished career of Russian America scholar Lydia T. Black, presents a comprehensive overview of the Russian presence in Alaska. Drawing on extensive archival research and employing documents only recently made available to scholars, Black shows how Russian expansion was the culmination of centuries of social and economic change. Black s work challenges the standard perspective on the Russian period in Alaska as a time of unbridled exploitation of Native inhabitants and natural resources. Without glossing over the harsher aspects of the period, Black acknowledges the complexity of relations between Russians and Native peoples. She chronicles the lives of ordinary men and women the merchants and naval officers, laborers and clergy who established Russian outposts in Alaska. These early colonists carried with them the Orthodox faith and the Russian language; their legacy endures in architecture and place names from Baranof Island to the Pribilofs. This deluxe volume features fold-out maps and color illustrations of rare paintings and sketches from Russian, American, Japanese, and European sources many have never before been published. An invaluable source for historians and anthropologists, this accessible volume brings to life a dynamic period in Russian and Alaskan history. A tribute to Black s life as a scholar and educator, "Russians in Alaska" will become a classic in the field."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Memory Eternal, Sergei Kan combines anthropology and history, anecdote and theory to portray the encounter between the Tlingit Indians and the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska in the late 1700s and to analyze the indigenous Orthodoxy that developed over the next 200 years. As a native speaker of Russian with eighteen years of fieldwork experience among the Tlingit, Kan is uniquely qualified to relate little-known material from the archives of the Russian church in Alaska to Tlingit oral history and his own observations. By weighing the one body of evidence against the other, he has reevaluated this history, arriving at a persuasive new concept of “converged agendas”—the view that the Tlingit and the Russians tended to act in mutually beneficial ways but for entirely different reasons throughout the period of their contact with one another. The Russian-American Company began operations in southeastern Alaska in the 1790s. Against a description of Tlingit culture at the time of the Russians’ arrival, Kan examines Russian Orthodox theology, ritual practice, and missionary methods, and the Tlingit response to them. An uneasy symbiosis characterized the early era of the Russian-American Company, when the trading relationship outweighed any spiritual or social rapprochement. A second, major focus of Kan’s study is the Tlingit experience with American colonial domination. He attributes a sudden revival of Tlingit interest in Orthodoxy in the 1880s as their attempt to maintain independence in the face of concerted efforts by the newcomers (and especially Presbyterian missionaries) to Americanize them. Memory Eternal shows the colonial encounter to be both a power struggle and a dialogue between different systems of meaning. It portrays Native Alaskans not as helpless victims but as historical agents who attempted to adjust to the changing reality of their social world without abandoning fundamental principles of their precolonial sociocultural order or their strong sense of self-respect.

Download or read book Preservation of Russian Orthodox Churches in the Cook Inlet Region Alaska written by Erin Abigail Frederickson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russian exploration of Alaska began in 1741 and expanded rapidly upon discovery of the colony's potential for revenue. Furs and mineral resources quickly attracted the attention of private entrepreneurs, or promyshlenniki. The largest of these companies, the Russian American Company, is frequently cited as the driving force behind Alaskan settlement. The efforts of the Lebedev-Lastochkin Company, which initiated settlement in the Cook Inlet region, are often overlooked due to the Company's lack of financial success. As a result, the history of the exploration of Southcentral Alaska is often overlooked. This work focuses on the settlement and Russian Orthodox proselytization efforts of the Cook Inlet region, including the Kenai Peninsula, in Southcentral Alaska. Three Russian Orthodox churches in Eklutna, Kenai and Ninilchik serve as case studies to demonstrate the preservation of Russian Orthodox sacred sites in Alaska. The histories provided in the first few chapters aid in understanding the evolution of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska and, as a result, the role of the church in today's society. In the native village of Eklutna, Old St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church was constructed with little Russian influence. By comparison, the construction of Holy Assumption Russian Orthodox Church in Kenai was the result of a combined Russian and Native Alaskan effort, and Holy Transfiguration Church in Ninilchik was built and maintained by Russian pensioners. Though initial research was completed in an effort to prove the lasting role of both Russian and Native Alaskan culture in each church, it becomes clear that multiple influences have both negative and positive impacts on the ways these remote structures utilize and preserve their heritage. Combined with recent demographic trends in the Russian Orthodox Church and, more specifically, the Diocese of Alaska, this work ultimately demonstrates the role of iii congregations in the preservation of their churches and the importance of community engagement in promoting cultural heritage and histories of remote Russian Orthodox sites.
