About the area |
Unalaska sits beteen Iliukliuk Harbor waters (Part of Iliukliuk bay) and Unalaska lake. The name of this town was meant to standard the spelling of several versions of its name and it had previously been known as Iliuliuk. The native Unangan people were inhabitants of the island of Unalaska for many years. Aroun 1759, the natives began to trade with the Russian who shortly thereafter took control. The Russian influence grew with the arrival of a Russian Orthodox missionary who rebuilt the the Orthodox chapel and contributed to the interpretation of the church to the native language. During World War II, the island was occupied by U.S. armed forces which was not a good experience. Natives, along with others in the Aleutian area, were removed from the island and interned in camps in Southeast Alaska. The Museum of the Aleutians has on display ethnographic, Russian, American, WWII and artwork collections intended to preserve the history of the of the Aleutian Islands region.
