The Russian Orthodox Church still has a strong influence up and down the

The Russians translated the bible into the local Indian dialects and didn?t

language and customs and still has a strong following among native Americans 
in Alaska. We weren?t allowed 
to go into the church but here is an outside view. Note the eagle on top of 
the cross on the dome:
