in the u.s., about 28% of the population suffered, and 500,000 to 675,000 died. native american tribes were particularly hard hit. in the four corners area alone, 3,293 deaths were registered among native americans. entire villages perished in alaska. the influenza epidemic across the seward peninsula in 1918 and 1919 wiped out about 50 percent of the native population of nome (later an epidemic diphteria during 1925 serum run to nome), and 8 percent of the native population of alaska. more than 1,000 people died in northwest alaska, and double that across the state, and the majority were alaska natives. the alaska natives had no resistance to either of these diseases. native tribes had no immunity. as a result of epidemics, the yup'ik world would go upside down; it would end. from there it spread like a wildfire to all corners of alaska, killing up to 60 percent of the eskimo and alaskan athabaskan people with the least exposure to the white man. this epidemic killed whole families and wiped out whole villages. many kuskuqvamiut also migrated to bristol bay region from the kuskokwim river region to the north of bristol bay, especially after the influenza epidemic of 1918–19.
