It is popularly thought that the first human inhabitants of Alaska arrived from Asia during the last Ice Age when a land bridge existed between Alaska and Siberia. When the Russians first came to Alaska there were approximately 60-80 thousand tribal inhabitants.
When the Russians reached the Aleutian chain, they discovered that almost all the islands were inhabited, with Aleuts; native people of Alaska, living in large communal houses relying on fishing and hunting and were famous for their basket making skills.
The Southern Indian, including the Tlingit and Haida peoples, were among the first to enter Alaska arriving from Asia across what is now known as the Bering Strait.
The native Eskimo population hail originally from the Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean Coastlines and form the biggest indigenous group in Alaska today, apparently when first met by Europeans they lived in houses made of sod and not ice, as more popularly thought.
The native Athabascan Indian population in Alaska come from the interior of the state and were predominantly a nomadic people moving seasonally between camps for hunting game, waterfowl and fish.
About 40 years after the discovery of Alaska by the Russians, the first settlement was planted on the shores of Kodiak Island by Russian fur traders (1784). Wikipedia.org has an extensive article dealing with the discovery and settlement of Alaska.
