Alaskan Creoles (Russian: Креолы Аляски, romanizedKreoly Alyaski) are an Alaskan Russian ethnic group.[1] They descend from citizens of colonial Alaska, known as Russian Creoles (Russian: Креолы, romanizedKreoly). As an ethnic group, their ancestry is mainly of Sibero-Russian, Aleut, Yupik, Eskimo, and other Alaskan Native origin.[2][3]
