Awa’uq Massacre
Shelikhov led an attack on Alutiiq communities on Kodiak Island. Reference accounts associate Russian company personnel with the deaths of more than 2,000 people according to some estimates. The violence enabled the company to consolidate control over Kodiak Island and remains central to historical assessments of Russian colonial expansion in Alaska.
