From wikipedia (you can find the sources there): "Epidemics of whooping cough, influenza and smallpox ran through the community periodically. In 1918, Moravian missionaries brought an outbreak of Spanish influenza that devastated Hebron and Okak. Approximately 86 of Hebron's 100 residents died. The flu epidemic of 1918 was believed to have wiped out a third of the 1,200-member Inuit population of Labrador." So like.. it sucks and all that this shit happened, but contact would have to happen eventually, and it wouldn't be until much later that an effective understanding of antivirals would occur, so the people at the time can't be blamed. What would be the alternative to relocating them to more developed areas after such an event? Leave them underpopulated, under resourced, and out of then modern society?
