The Sitka School Board recently decided to send the question of the name change to the Sitka Tribe, in hopes of identifying a “significant local cultural educator.”
The hardest part about renaming the Baranof Elementary School will be who to name it for.
At their last meeting on January 6, Sitka School Board members reported that their email was running near 100-percent in favor of naming the building after someone other than the 18th-Century fur trader who, as the first chief manager of the Russian-American Company, was the de facto governor of the Russian colony in North America.
Alexander Baranov’s role in history won’t ever be unwritten. But in her testimony, former school board member Dionne Brady-Howard explained why honoring him with an elementary school remains a bad idea.
There was interest in changing the name of Baranof Elementary even before the last summer’s demonstrations to remove a statue of the 18th Century fur trader from in front of Harrigan Centennial Hall. Although Alexander Baranov was a major figure in Alaska’s colonial history, former Sitka School Board member Dionne Brady-Howard considers him ruthless. “He would have annihilated my ancestors if he had been able to,” she said.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was like the pavement that all other stories rolled on- everything from school closures, the poor fishing season, the non-existent cruise season, to elections. Most news was propelled by the pandemic in some way.
