Walking Around Near the State Capitol in Juneau, Alaska

The Calhoun Avenue Overpass
was built by the Civilian
Conservation Corps in 1935.

St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox

Church was built by Tlingit

Natives in 1893.

Tlingit in nearby Sitka attended Russian Orthodox services in their own language.  American missionaries were under orders to suppress native languages and customs as part of their work in Alaska.  Tlingit in Juneau were not interested in learning a new language to convert to a European faith and embraced the Russian Orthodox faith.

A trolley car is a convenient
way to get around in this
city built on a mountainside.
