Unangan (Aleut) resist Russian merchants and merchant Stepan Glotov. A group of armed Unangan men attack and destroy most of the Russian fleet in the Aleutian Islands. The emerging conflict takes the lives of many Russian traders and the Unangan (Native Voices, "1762: The Unangan (Aleut) resist Russian occupation").
