Week 4 Colleague Responses

Explore Alaska Class:  I found the explorations of Bering and Chirklov were very interesting to me.  I couldn’t imagine what it was like to see what they saw.  Also it is neat to know that so many villages are named from Russian Colonization. 
Gary’s Alaska Blog:  I learned that the Tlingit weapons were more advanced at first than the Russians.  This surprised me because I would have thought that the Russian would have more fire power.  The cannons were the turning point for the Russians.  I also found it very interesting how much the Russian did come to rely on the Alaska Natives to survive.
Brenda’s Alaskan Blog: Throughout her blog she did a very nice job of explaining how the relationships between the Russians and Alaska Natives developed.  From the Natives technically being their slaves to the Russians dependency on them for their survival.
