The <entity_0> (Russian: Сражение при Ситке; 1804) was the last major armed conflict between Russians and <entity_4> Natives, and was initiated in response to the destruction of a Russian trading post two years before. The primary combatant groups were the Kiks.ádi ("Ones of Kíks", Frog/Raven) Clan of <entity_2> Xʼáatʼi (<entity_1>) of the Tlingit nation and agents of the Russian-American Company assisted by the Imperial Russian Navy. Members of the Kiks.ádi of the indigenous Tlingit people had occupied portions of the <entity_4> Panhandle, including <entity_2> Xʼáat'i (present-day <entity_1>), for some 11,000 years. However, a coastal route around the bays of northwest <entity_1> appears to be the most likely course as it would have allowed the travelers to circumvent the Island's dense forests, based on significant firsthand research into the event conducted by Herb and Frank Hope of the <entity_2> Ḵwáan — <entity_2> Tribe of <entity_4>. <entity_2> National Historical Park was established on the <entity_3> site on October 18, 1972 "...to commemorate the Tlingit and Russian experiences in <entity_4>."
