The Alaska Native Community at Metini-Fort Ross welcomes all to Alaska Native Day May 17 & 18, 2025. Please join us as we continue to honor our Alaska Native history in the California lands of the Kashia Pomo. We will be celebrating our cultural practices through the sharing of our traditional foods and stories from our elders. Alaska Natives have a long history of relationship to Metini through the Russian hunting expeditions in the 1800’s. Alaska Natives were forcefully brought from their homelands by the Russian American Company to build Fort Ross and hunt sea otters for the benefit of the Russian American Company and at great cost to the Alaska Natives.  The Alaska Native community is grateful to the Kashia Pomo for welcoming us on their lands so we may pay tribute to our ancestors and continue to strengthen our community. Please join us to learn more of our Alaska Native history and continuing cultural practices.
