Russian trader Ivan Solovief arms his workers to murder Unangan (Aleut) men, women, and children in retaliation for their resistance. Solovief vows to reduce the Unangan population from 25,000 to 2,500. Russian workers go to Umnak, Unalaska, and Kodiak Islands, where they systematically kill people and enslave young women and men. Russians establish control of the region following this massacre (Native Voices, "1766: Armed Russian fur traders massacre Unangan (Aleut)").
