Sitka National Historical Park (earlier known as Indian River Park and Totem Park) is a national historical park in Sitka in the U.S. state of Alaska. It was redesignated as a national historical park from its previous status as national monument on October 18, 1972. The park in its various forms has sought to commemorate the Tlingit and Russian experiences in Alaska. This document examines the architectural and settlement history of Russian America, from the establishment of the first permanent Russian settlement in 1784 on Kodiak Island to the purchase of Alaska by the United States in 1867.
