INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF RUSSIAN AMERICA IN THE WORKS
OF RUSSIAN HISTORIANS, GEOGRA PHERS AND OTHER SPECIALISTS
The article is devoted to a critical analysis of publications by Russian scientists (primarily in the humanities) that discuss the indigenous population of Alaska and the interaction of Russians with it during the period of the existence of Russian colonies there from the second half of the 18th century until 1867, when they were sold to the United States. It is regrettable to note the generally low level of knowledge on this topic among a significant number of Russian authors, which is reflected in their scientific works.
Keywords: Alaska Natives, Russian America, Russian colonization, Russian historiography.
