Analysis of Norway House Anglican parish registers during the I918 in- fluenza pandemic suggests that eighteen percent of the population perished in six weeks. Its strategic position in the fur trade and lack of substantial provisions in the subarctic winter contributed to the death rate. Population recovery occurred within five to ten years, owing to a modest post-epidemic marriage boom and the maintenance of birth rates. Analysis of parish records and twentieth-century virgin soil epidemics may help to develop models for early contact epidemics
