Seward and Sea Change in the Aleutians Virtual Program

Change is inevitable in the movement of time but in 1867 Secretary of State William H. Seward would send another ripple racing north to sweep over the Unangax peoples and the other residents of Russia-America. How did this deal in the dark made thousands of miles away, weave into the tapestry of a society already in the midst of the massive change, sparked by the arrival of Russia in the 1730's? 

Join the Seward House Museum and the Museum of the Aleutians as we explore the history of the Aleutian Islands leading up to 1867, the political jockeying in Washington D.C. that led to the sale, and the aftermath that the Treaty of Cessions of Alaska had on those living on the Islands.
