Most religious denominations are well represented in Alaska. There are numerous religious missions, schools, and hospitals for the natives. Where the Russians left their mark, in southwestern and southeastern Alaska, the Russian Orthodox church still flourishes among Aleuts and Indians.

Alaskans have great community pride and local patriotism. They are great “joiners,” and fraternal, social, business, and community organizations are strong.
