Events 1802–1804 were of decisive importance for the history of the Russian colonies in North America. The Russian pioneers had to face the resolute resistance of the militant and well-armed Tlingit Indians, who stubbornly defended their trade and fishing interests. At the epicenter of this struggle were the strongholds of the Russian-American Company (RAC) in the very heart of the Tlingit country - on about. Sitka (now Baranova Island). In addition to the Indians and RAC employees, English and American sea traders, as well as participants in the first Russian circumnavigation of the world, the sailors of the Neva ship under the command of Yu.F. Lisyansky. In the summer of 1802, the combined forces of the Tlingit destroyed the Russian fortress of St. Michael the Archangel, exterminated the Sitka fishing party, and blocked the path for further advancement of Russian colonization. In 1804, the RAC forces under the leadership of A.A. Baranova strike back and regain control of Sitka and the adjacent waters of the Straits of the Alexander Archipelago. In the future, through skillful diplomacy, the parties managed to smooth out mutual contradictions and develop rules for peaceful coexistence. The involvement of Russian and English-language written sources in the study, combined with oral Indian legends, makes it possible to identify the causes of the conflict, to restore the course of hostilities in as much detail as possible, and to trace the fate of individual participants in these turbulent events.
