Alaska Native Day
The Alaska Native Community at Metini-Fort Ross welcomes all to Alaska Native Day May 16 & 17, 2026. Please join us as we continue to honor our Alaska Native history in the California lands of the Kashia Pomo. We will be celebrating our cultural practices through the sharing stories from our elders, dance and crafts.
Alaska Natives have a long history of relationship to Metini through the Russian hunting expeditions in the 1800’s. Alaska Natives were forcefully brought from their homelands by the Russian American Company to build Fort Ross and hunt sea otters for the benefit of the Russian American Company and at great cost to the Alaska Natives.
The Alaska Native community is grateful to the Kashia Pomo for welcoming us on their lands so we may pay tribute to our ancestors and continue to strengthen our community. Please join us to learn more of our Alaska Native history and continuing cultural practices.
A special thank you to The Aleut Foundation, Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association, Pacific Northwest Aleut Council, Ounalashka Corporation, and Fort Ross Conservancy for their generous support of past events.
We are grateful to the Kashia for their continued welcome of the Alaska Native community on their lands of Metini.
