19th-century fort built by native Alaskans to hold off Russians found Dan Avery For Dailymail.com © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo The site of a fort inhabited by native Alaskans has been discovered more than 200 years after it was built to fend off Russian invaders. Using ground-penetrating radar and other non-invasive techniques, researchers confirmed the location of the last holdout of the Tlingit people in modern-day Sitka, on Alaska s Baranof Island.  Known as Shiskinoow or Sapling fort, the trapezoidal structure was about 240 feet long and 165 feet wide. It was built after the Tlingit initially repelled the Russians in 1802, but was destroyed when the colonists returned two years later.
