Description:

This graveyard adjacent to a Russian Orthodox church is a combination of Russian and indigenous burial practices. As Russian missionaries and locals mingled their two communities combined cultures as is evident at this cemetery. The cemetery markers which are bright colorful little houses to shelter the dead are not renovated or maintained as the Denaina tradition is to let the earth reclaim its what is hers.
