In 1804, Tlingit fighters in a fort near modern Sitka, Alaska turned back a Russian-led attack.

' For the modern Tlingit, “the fort is a cultural symbol of resistance to colonization, and the location is considered sacred by many community members ... " But for the last 200 years, only its approximate location [was] known. A recent geophysical survey ... revealed the ghostly outline of the fort, long hidden beneath the ground. '

Here is another "memory of Sitka" poem from a few years ago when I lived in DC. I hope this works. took screen shot and posted poem in Alt Text. #Sitka #Poetry #Alaska #Tlingit @SilverSalmonAK

@ct_bergstrom when I lived in Southeast Alaska I used to talk with ravens. Perhaps @SilverSalmonAK can attest they can be very curious and friendly. I had one that I saw daily and he took a shining to me but was he was disappointed when I didn’t like his gift of regurgitating food for me. Marie Laws and Terri Rofkar told me all about #Raven #Tlingit #corvids
