It is known that Constantine Larionov also produced a comprehensive dictionary of the Alutiiq language in the 1850's which exists as part of the Alaskan Orthodox Church archives. This would appear to be the last historic Alutiiq text of the Russian-American period yet to be transcribed. (apart from the lost translations of the Lord's prayer by Hieromonk Gideon and St. Herman in the early 1800's.)

Hopefully this might be of interest!
