-Herman of Alaska was a Russian Orthodox [[monk]] from [[Valaam Monastery]] in Russia who traveled with eight other monks in 1793 to bring the [[Gospel]] to the native Aleuts and Eskimos in the Aleutian Islands.  As part of the Russian colonization of the Americas, Russians had been exploring and trading there since at least 1740.  Thus, he marks the first arrival of Orthodox Christian [[missionaries]] in North America.  He built a school for the Aleutians, and he often defended them from the injustices and exploitation of the Russian traders.  He was known to them as ''Apa'' which means "Grandfather." His [[love for the poor]] drew many to Christ. He lived most of his life as the sole resident of Spruce Island, a tiny wooded island near Kodiak Island.
