Alaska's Darkest Hour

They called it Russian America — but there was nothing American about it. In the mid-1700s, Russian hunters and traders crossed the North Pacific, landing on Alaska’s shores with muskets, greed, and orders from St. Petersburg. What followed wasn’t exploration — it was conquest. The Native peoples of Alaska, from the Aleutians to the Interior, were enslaved, starved, and forced to hunt sea otters until their world nearly vanished. This is the untold story of how empire came to Alaska — driven by profit, cloaked in religion, and fueled by cruelty. The Russian-American Company controlled every trade, every pelt, and every life it touched, until the land itself began to collapse. By 1880, the once-thriving Native population had been reduced to a fraction of its size. Yet through disease, labor camps, and forced conversion, Alaska’s first peoples endured. Their strength outlasted empires. Join Camp Fire Mike as we uncover the truth about Russian colonization in Alaska — a history too often left in the shadows.
