About Sitka
Sitka is an Alaskan city and borough near Juneau, the state capital. It's spread over Baranof Island, part of Chichagof Island and others. It was part of Russia until 1867 and St. Michael's Orthodox Cathedral is topped with an onion dome. The 1842 Russian Bishop's House is nearby. Sitka National Historical Park is the site of Russia's defeat of the indigenous Tlingit people and has a trail dotted with totem poles.
