Its first non Native American settelers were Russians.
Yes. The Russians offered to sell Alaska in 1854. Then William Seward bought Alaska in 1867 for 2 cents an acre.
After they realized they had sold it for such a low price then yes they did. Russia sold Alaska to America in 1867 for 7.2 million dollars.
Inuits founded Alaska, Russians chased Inuits away with a thing called fire, Russians found they couldn't get acess easily to the national vodka trade so they sold it to America, and because America is so awesome we found gold and oil in a land where the Russians were too hungover to look. Palin governed there, Japan invaded there, Putin visited his bear cousins there.

Alaska was explored by native tribes and later Russians.
Well before America bought Alaska,Alaska was owned by the Russians,but America talked and talked with the Russians (the Alaskan Purchase) and they made a decision,America bought Alaska from the Russians for $7.2 million.
Small amounts of Russians settled in Alaska during the early 19th century, mostly fur trappers from Siberia. It was not populated very much (except by indigenous) until after it was purchased by the US in 1867 and gold was discovered some time later.

The Russians were after Beaver pelts in Alaska...once the population of beavers declined they wanted to get rid of Alaska because they weren't gaining anything by owning it so they sold it to William H. Seward.
