The 1862 Pacific Northwest smallpox epidemic was a smallpox outbreak that started in Victoria on Vancouver Island and spread among the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast and into the indigenous peoples of the Northwest Plateau, killing a large portion of natives from the Puget Sound region to Southeast Alaska. Two-thirds of British Columbia natives died—around 20,000 people.The death rate was highest in southeast Alaska and Haida Gwaii—over 70% among the Haida and 60% among the Tlingit. Almost all native nations along the coast, and many in the interior, were devastated, with a death rate of over 50% for the entire coast from Puget Sound to Sitka, Alaska, part of Russian America at the time. In some areas the native population fell by as much as 90%. The disease was controll

  • La epidemia de viruela en el noroeste del Pacífico de 1862 fue una epidemia de viruela que comenzó en Victoria, en la isla de Vancouver, y se extendió entre los y en los pueblos indígenas de la meseta noroeste, matando a una gran parte de los nativos de la región de Puget Sound al sureste de Alaska. La epidemia marca un importante punto de inflexión en la historia del noroeste del Pacífico y devastó a las naciones indígenas. La tasa de mortalidad fue más alta en el sureste de Alaska y Haida Gwaii— más del 70% entre los Haida y el 60% entre los Tlingit. Casi todas las naciones nativas a lo largo de la costa, y muchas en el interior, fueron devastadas, con una tasa de mortalidad de más del 50% para toda la costa desde Puget Sound hasta Sitka (Alaska) parte de la América rusa en ese momento.
