smallpox has afflicted native americans since it was carried to the western hemisphere by the spanish conquerors, with credible accounts of epidemics dating back to at least 1515. smallpox was particularly deadly in the plains because no one in these communities had been exposed, and developed immunity before. this is why mortality rates were so high. by the 1730s smallpox had made its way west in canada and northern united states. the assiniboine first nation had controlled much of this territory, but were forced to give it up as their population decreased dramatically. along the missouri river the arikara population was reduced by half by the end of the 1730s. other communities that were decimated in the 1730s by smallpox include the lower loup, pawnee of nebraska, cherokee, and the kansa. in short, smallpox in the 1730s devastated indigenous communities living on the north american plains.
