The city of Sitka, located on Baranof Island along the Alaska Panhandle, was once the capital of Russian America. Nearby Sitka National Historical Park was established to commemorate the Battle of Sitka in 1804, the last major conflict between Europeans and the native Alaskans. The park now helps preserve the culture of the Tlingit people, as well as the Russian and American settlers, with collections of rare artifacts, the preserved remains of the Tlingit fort and a Russian Bishop's House.

I spent a month in Sitka and found so much beauty, yet the place I returned to almost every day was this pristine historical forest. It is a rain forest, a forest beside the sea, a forest along a river, a forest with amazing totem poles planted around a curve, a forest with eagles flying over the tree tops, a forest memorial of a battle site between the natives and the Russians, asking for peace and brotherhood. Whether you have several hours or only 15 minutes this may be the most sacred place you have been.
