    Why is Alaska part of Russia and not also indigenous territory?

        Yes, but what claim did Russia have on that territory to begin with? Not sure what the population looked like in the 1860s but today at least the vast majority of Alaskan residents are Indigenous.

      I mean, it may be an autonomous republic within the russian federation. It is one of the most doverse countries in terms of mdoels of government.
