The histories of the Russian people, the Aleut people they brought with them, and the Tlingit people indigenous to this land are all inextricably entwined. This trail leads you through the forest to a small, humble memorial that commemorates the Russian and Aleut people who died here while fighting the Tlingit people, the original occupants of this land.
