I am unsure as to precisely what it is you are asking. Scientists say the land bridge from Siberia to Alaska allowed the first human settlements by mongoloids in the new world 12000 years ago, however the oldest known human discovered in the Americas was a caucasoid dating back 13000 years, so no one is sure. In modern history Alaska was discovered by Russian Vitus Bering, however there were no permanent settlements in Alaska for forty years until 1784 when Grigorii Shelikhov with his wife and 100 fur traders settled on Kodiak Island. Kodiak still boasts the oldest Russian Orthodox church in all of the Americas.
