English Alaskans (Russian: Английские Аляскинцы, Angliyskiye Alyaskintsy), colloquially referred to as Dougs (Даги, Dagi), are citizens of the Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic who can trace their ancestry back to, or were born in the United Kingdom (more specifically England). Most English Alaskans can trace their ancestry back to the original British settlers of the Pacific Northwest during the 18th and 19th Centuries, with English Alaskans being the majority in the governorates of the Queen Charlotte Islands and Vancouver Island, as well as the plurality in Columbia.

  • English Alaskans (Russian: Английские Аляскинцы, Angliyskiye Alyaskintsy), colloquially referred to as Dougs (Даги, Dagi), are citizens of the Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic who can trace their ancestry back to, or were born in the United Kingdom (more specifically England). Most English Alaskans can trace their ancestry back to the original British settlers of the Pacific Northwest during the 18th and 19th Centuries, with English Alaskans being the majority in the governorates of the Queen Charlotte Islands and Vancouver Island, as well as the plurality in Columbia. Since the 1920s, the term "Doug" has become a nickname for Alaskans of English descent, comparable to the use of Kiwi and Yankee to describe people from New Zealand and the United States (respectively). The name is derived from the Doug (the national flag of the short-lived Commonwealth of Columbia), which in turn gained its name from the silhouette of a Douglass fir on the flag. While often used to describe all Anglo-American Alaskans, the term is generally only used to describe those who are descendant of the original British settlers to the region.
