- Abstract
- The author examines the issue of the alcohol drinking among the natives of Alaska during the Russian colonization period by drawing on archival and a range of published historical and ethnographic sources. He demonstrates that the Russian-American Company tried to fi ght alcoholism and limit access to alcohol for the natives of Russian colonies partly for moral and partly for economic reasons. He argues that the only Alaskan populations supplied with rum were the Tlingit and Kaigani Haida and discusses the part the British and American traders played in it. The author analyzes the causes and outcomes and makes comparisons between practices brought by the Russian and American colonization ways.
