Description : A sailor named Thomas Poole recorded that in 1863 a European passenger fell ill of the pox on a passage to Victoria. The captain ordered him ashore although he knew of the epidemic,s effect on the natives, who had no resistance to European diseases. Almost overnight, the population of the village of Nan Sdins (also known as Ninstints and SGang Gwaay, llnagaay) was reduced to just 30 from more than 300. A year later, there were five. The survivors abandoned the site.
