Tragically they died from an epidemic of typhus disease carried by the Scottish Whalers in 1902. However, 3 Sallirmiut survived the epidemic and were brought ashore by the whalers. A woman and two children. The woman and her two children were taken to Baker Lake area and the woman died shortly arriving there. Then the children were taken to Repulse Bay where they died in 1948. You can still visit a Sallirmiut camp at Native Point and there you will find sod huts, bones, ruins, and animal parts.
