"Many died"

Interesting series of articles you're starting, George.

I'm curious about this line: "The resettled families found their first years very hard. Many died." What does it mean, exactly? What did they die of? In what ways were their first years "very hard"? Were they permitted by the government to move to more southerly locales? Is the article implying that the Canadian government is to blame? --Larry Sanger 20:44, 9 August 2008 (CDT)
