[edit] this ship and smallpox

Guujaaw was just on a CTV show - Val Pringle's travel show - and he says/claims that the Queen Charlotte dropped off someone with smallpox that wiped out 80% of the island's population. he made it sound like this was the only epi8demic, and the only ship to do so - as it was part of the haida GWaii vs QCI name thing that he raised it. His testimony is citable only as a claim anyway, unless mayb e in Cole Harris' Resettlement of British Columbia or even deep in Howay or Bancroft this incident is mentioned. But to me it sounded like Guujaaw was shooting the collective mouth off.....Skookum1 (talk) 16:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
