==Martyrdom==
There are other, conflicting accounts of his martyrdom. In an article entitled "The Orthodox Church in America an Historical Survey" (''Russian Review'', Vol. 31, No. 2. (Apr., 1972), pp. 138-152 [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0036-0341%28197204%2931%3A2%3C138%3ATOCIAA%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z], [http://www.zarubezhje.narod.ru/texts/Grigorieff01.htm]), Fr. [[Dmitry Grigorieff ]] writes: "Father Juvenaly was killed by the natives on the Alaska mainland in 1795. He had urged the people of a village there to send their children to the mission school on Kodiak Island. They agreed, and Father Juvenaly led a group of children to the seashore. On the way he was overtaken and killed by villagers who had changed their mind." (p. 139).
Regarding St. Juvenaly's Alleged Diary: "This mildly uninspiring document, which contradicts both Church and Native traditions about the saint's activities, was summarised in Bancroft's influential History of Alaska and accepted for a century as a major primary source. However, it is now very strongly suspected of being a forgery written by one of Bancroft's assistants." - Lydia T. Black, "The Daily Journal of Reverend Father Juvenal: A Cautionary Tale," Ethnohistory 28(1)33, 1981.
