Discover Juneau

The Gastineau Channel was a fishing ground for the Auke and Taku peoples, who lived in the area for thousands of years. The Auke had a village and a burial ground at what is now Indian Point, where they harvested herring every spawning season. Since the late 20th century the Auke and the Sealaska Heritage Institute have resisted federal development there, considering it sacred for its burials and its place in their traditions of living from the sea, and in August 2016 the 78-acre site became the first traditional cultural property in Southeast Alaska listed on the National Register. Juneau is a social center for the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian of Southeast Alaska.

More about Juneau

The Russians, who held Alaska from 1784 to 1867, did not settle at Juneau. The first European to see the area was Joseph Whidbey, master of the Discovery on George Vancouver's expedition, who in July and August 1794 viewed the Gastineau Channel and judged it unnavigable and choked with ice. In 1880 George Pilz, a mining engineer in Sitka, offered a reward to any Native person who could lead him to gold ore, and after a first trip found little, he sent Joe Juneau, cousin of Milwaukee's founder Solomon Juneau, and Richard Harris to Snow Slide Gulch at the head of Gold Creek. They found nuggets "as large as peas and beans," in Harris's words. One account dates their exploration to the summer of 1879. On October 18, 1880, they marked out a 160-acre townsite, and a camp of tents and shacks grew quickly, the first European American settlement founded in Alaska after the purchase.
