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.
