Unangan and Sugpiaq organize resistance against Russian occupation (Alaska)
For more than 20 years Russians have continued massacres, sexual exploitation of women, and taking of Indigenous lands. The Sugpiaq rebel and organize an uprising with multiple Unangan/Eastern Aleut tribes, who attack four Russian ships simultaneously at Umnak, Unimak, and Unalaska. Only 12 Russian traders survive of the 200 attacked. (http://sites.kpc.alaska.edu/jhaighalaskahistory/files/2018/02/Chapter-4-Unangan-and-Sugpiaq-.pdf)
