Book excerpt: This document traces the influence of various epidemics (such as smallpox in 1835-1840, and influenza and measles, known as the 'Great Death', in 1900) on the Yup'ik Eskimo peoples of northwest Alaska, and suggests that they resulted in Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSS) which may underlie current social problems, such as alcoholism and dysfunctional behaviours.
