Famine
So I started rereading the part about the Great Death and before I hadn't really realized that afterwards they had famine and drought. This must have had an even bigger efftect after the trauma of seeing so many dead. How could they recover from so many blows? I mean, the Great Death wiped out 60% of the Eskimo and Athabaskan. How many where wiped out from the famine and drought? Just a thought.

Didnt they recover by being converted into the Christian faith by the Westerners? Wasnt it after these hardships that they were convinced to leave behind their cultures and become more like the "white men"??
